Hi Rick,

to quote Ryan from the 14th October:

---
It's built with -march=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse ... 
so it will use generic instructions that were only available on P4-level 
hardware, and sse2 for all math operations.

If you're still on Pentium III level hardware, it's time to upgrade.
---

AMD Athlon 2600MP CPUs don't have the SSE2 Instruction-Set, so you can't 
run the UT3 binary.

best regards,
Arne
