I think so. but not absolute sure about that.
BTW! Does anyone get into supranova pool?
Been busy for a couple of days and fell behind reading this thread.
cpuminer-opt works with 64 bit CPUs with AES_NI and with only SSE2 but you only
get the high speed if the CPU has AES_NI. It will tell you at startup what it is using.
But this only applies if you compile it yourself for your architecture. Precompiled binaries
only support one architecture.
A non AES_NI would need to be compiled on CPUs like the core2 or some lower end Celerons.
If it compiles on Windows for AES_NI it should also compile for SSE2.
I always recommend compiling yourself for best performance. I am thrilled that ctgiant has it
working with mingw, no propriatary software required.
I fully support ctgiant and his efforts to open up cpuminer-opt to windows users and will follow up
with the hodl issue. It appears hodl fails to compile with newer versions of gcc, probaly the reason
it didn't work for ctgiant.
