Pre-req issue w/ installation, but hardware should be okay

[ryan_gregory]

I am running an XP sp3 system on an AMD XP 2500 (sse2 is supported) and I already have VS Studio 2008 installed. I am trying to eval the Fortran Compiler, but it tells me I must have an, "Inte Pentium 4 processor or later, or a compatible non-Intel processor."

From what I can tell in the knowledge base, my CPU should be okay. Is there a way around this in the installation. I am trying to install 11.1.046 Update 2?

According to Wikipedia, at least, your processor supports SSE but not SSE2. I tried to check AMD's web site for this information, but kept getting page errors. I also found this page which confirms SSE but not SSE2. There is no way around this requirement of the product - sorry.

Steve you are correct. I read the wrong specs on my CPU. Sorry :(

The barton core from amd does not support sse2, so the pre-req error is legit.

Will have to repurpose another machine for this test.

Thanks,
