Hi chaps,

I've seen plenty of posts of how to keep SSE Boost but I can't seem to get it at all in the first place.

I've set the appropriate flags thus:

Have I missed something?

Is it because I'm running lowly TBird CPU's? (800 & 1200)

Cheers

    Make sure you have right core version 1.48. Backup current FAH folder to be safe then delete the core and it should download v1.48.

    I've run WCPUID on my rig and it appears my 1200 TBird does not support SSE Boost :(

    I assumed that all AMD CPUs did.

    My bad luck eh?

    Cheers

    YES Tbirds don't run SSE - palominos were the first to support SSE
