    Hey @roytam1, Serpent SSE is running wonderfully on my Athlon XP 2800+! Big thanks for the build! This machine will definitely be seeing more action

    K8 has MMX, SSE, SSE2, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64, and Cool'n'Quiet.

    Good stuff! Firefox 45.9 ESR and Pale Moon 27 have been problematic as of late. I had to relegate the Athlon XP to Debian Sid, so I could compile UXP without SSE2 and get a usable browser. Looks like I may be moving back to XP now 👏

    Would it allow me to use voice chat?

    Did you mean router, or modem? I really hope there is a router between your computer and the modem.

    Good for you keeping that old hardware alive! I imagine there is some kind of adapter available that does 34 pin floppy to USB, or something like that.

    Is the RDD really your "Daily Driver"? If so, hats off to you. I need, bare minimum, at least a Netburst based CPU to get anything done in an efficient manner. Pre SSE2 processors are just something to fiddle with as a hobby for me. The lack of SSE2 on Athlon XP's and Pentium 3's really hampers them, software wise.

    Hi, I know you've said your RDD has a Radeon x1950xt, but do you have an nVidia card to test on? The latest release of the patch causes horrendous stuttering while scrolling with my GeForce 6600. This can be observed in FF 45.9 ESR, as well as Pale Moon 27.

    D'oh. I forgot all about the stupid name change

    Thanks for checking it out. I'll test the newest version this evening. On a somewhat unrelated note, Firefox Quantum appears to be capable of leveraging WebGL on almost any GPU, regardless of DirectX version support (it uses OpenGL when a DX11 GPU is not present). Under Windows 7, I can achieve silky smooth scrolling, and even 720p video playback with a Pentium 4 670, and a 32MB Radeon 7500. I've tested this on a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 as well, and observed the similar results.

    I'm using the PM28 patch on my Thinkpad T42p with a 2GHz Pentium M, 2GB of DDR, and a Radeon FireGL T2 GPU. Scrolling speed does some to be much improved, but I did notice that the feedback score element is missing when I hover over my username on the eBay landing page. I have highlighted the general area where it is normally displayed, in the picture provided. Not a deal breaker, but worth taking note of IMHO.

    The patch works fine on all of my single core machines. Your inability to use the software correctly is not the authors fault Stop projecting.

    When is flat everything to die? Modern user interfaces have a serious lack of soul.

    This iBook G4 features the Radeon Mobility 9550 32MB. I have used the enforcer yet, but it is on my docket of things to do today. I can confirm what you've stated about Intel GMA performing well in webgl. In my experience, it performs EXTREMELY well, and considering the low power consumption, I actually prefer Intel GMA in older laptops, as opposed to dedicated GPU's due to excellent webgl performance, low power consumption, and excellent reliability (old laptops were plagued by GPU BGA issues).

    I haven't seen any feedback regarding testing on OSX PPC, so I figured I'd chime in here. Prior to applying the UOC patch, TenFourFox was borderline unusable, even on the fastest Powerbook / iBook laptops. After doing so, I've noticed quite a big uptick in performance, especially while scrolling! So, with that being said, double thanks, @looking4awayout!

    That’s a question for RT to answer. I’m using a modern Linux distro, so I have access to newer libraries, etc, that may not be available for XP. But then again, he’s already demonstrated that these browsers can be built for XP, so common sense tells me dependencies shouldn’t be an issue..
  17. sparty411
    That would be neat. NM28 builds for me as well here. It's fast enough out of the box, that I don't really need to do much about:config fiddling. Umatrix will suffice.
  18. sparty411
    I'm using Umatrix to block most unnecessary scripts, but you're right, it does choke quite badly on JS heavy sites. Still leaps and bounds faster than the SSE only version of Quantum that ships with antiX! That one really takes the cake
  19. sparty411
    I was able to get UXP / Serpent to build ok for SSE only processors. Pic related! Thanks for your help :)
  20. sparty411
    I did And it crashes every time it tries to make an HTTPS connection. Riccardo Mottolla told me he tried a no SSE2 build, and it does the same exact thing. It works just fine on AMD64 Linux though.
  21. sparty411
    I don’t need to specify -mno-sse2?
  22. sparty411
    Hey @roytam1, do you think you might be able to give me an example .mozconfig to do a no SSE2 build of Arctic Fox on Linux? I’m having trouble finding a list of compiler options I should be using to get a desired result.
  23. sparty411
    Thank you for compiling all of these together in one post for me! Very helpful!
  24. sparty411
    Does ClamAV still receive definition updates? Would that suffice?
  25. sparty411
    Understood The FUD these days is strong, and has made me question my choice of OS. I do intend to continue using XP well into the foreseeable future, but wanted input in regards to whether or not I was being irresponsible by continuing to use it well past EOS.
