Need a volunteer that can do a quick test & turn-around. Please sign-in & PM me @ Lunatics. Prefer inquiries from those w/ current Pre-Release Tester status for the moment. Thanks!!! ID: 843985 ·

Prefer inquiries from those w/ current Pre-Release Tester status for the moment. Thanks!!! I have an Opteron 1210 which is SSE3 capable running SuSE Linux 10.3. I am running AK_V8 MB app and stock Astropulse 5.0 (very slow). Tullio ID: 844023 ·

I would guess it is more a question of whether the optimisations for the AMD CPU work as expected. Intel CPUs have different bottlenecks and so require different optimisations. Hence the CPU-specific optimisations may well not work well on other non-targeted CPUs...
