What browser? IE? Or Firefox?


I don't know about IE, but I do have one older Pentium3 computer which
isn't being used much except to run SETI@home. Firefox won't update past
version 48 (current version is 51) saying it's because of a lack of SSE2.

BTW, Apparently Firefox will support XP through version 52, but 49+
require SSE2.
