This is where <code>-cpu host</code> comes into play, as SoftGPU provides SSE3 optimized binaries for in this case, software accelerated 3D rendering. Now yes, you could use this with <code>-cpu pentium3</code> but do keep in mind MMX optimized binaries are very slow as the maximum performance you can reach with those is around 15 or 20 FPS if you are lucky and may or may not have tons of bugs that just
We will now install the SoftGPU driver to enable higher resolutions and 32-bit color support.
