Speaking of old computers that don't support AVX, does anybody know why Layzer left the forum?

His Windows XP computer broke down, so he can't browse the forum anymore?

Or maybe his favorite web browser went 64-bit only. Tough luck.

As I said: my MBP does fine and is going strong, no problem there.

And yes you can get a cheapie throwaway Win10 notebook, but I tend to get a computer and keep it a decade or more. Moore’s law ain’t what it used to be.

So for me, to replace this would mean a $3k MBP, and that’s no dice.

It wasn't there until one or two weeks ago. It silently sneaked itself in. Not sure where Touch the Universe got the info from.

From the dragon, don't blame me if it's wrong

I own an old Mac Pro with 12 cores of Xeon processing that handles modern vi’s and fx comfortably & I certainly won’t be upgrading just to run Massive X.
It’s a bit disappointing there’s no alternate option but oh well. No Massive for me or anyone else in the same boat.

My 2011 MacMini runs it fine - did MacPro come out before that?

How can I tell if my CPU supports AVX? I have no idea.

Sandy Bridge onwards I believe
