I will put new binaries on the sourceforge site this weekend for both NumPy 1.0.4 and SciPy 0.6.0. I should be able to find an old PIII WinXP machine around somewhere, which I will devote to building the official non-SSE2 releases from here on out.
Great, many thanks! Keep in mind that as Ryan's tests showed, Athlon XP chips also seem to lack the SSE2 set, and those are a bit newer than the PIII, so they might be a bit easier to find. The Athlon 64 and Athlon X2 do have SSE2, but apparently the XP doesn't. I'm sure there's a wikipedia page somewhere with a list of all the chips where SSE2 first appeared... Cheers, f
