SSE2 was introduced into Intel chips with the Pentium 4 in 2001 and AMD processors in 2003. Most computers produced in the last several years are equipped with SSE2. If you are unsure about your particular computer, you can determine SSE2 support by:
Windows: A free download, CPU-Z, is available from CPUID that will indicate if SSE2 is present on your system or not.
OS X: All Intel Macs are equipped with SSE2
Linux: From a terminal, run “cat /proc/cpuinfo”. “sse2” will be listed as one of the “flags” if SSE2 is available.
