 That's not a very excellent thing to say.

 It does. In fact, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_III SSE was
 introduced with the Pentium III], which was the
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P6_(microarchitecture)#From_Pentium_Pro_to_Pentium_III
 6th chip in the P6 (a.k.a. i686) microarchitecture series].

 In any case, the details of microarchitecture history are pretty moot
 here, because — in the current draft at least — we consider x86 platforms
 without SSE2 support to be "unsupported".  That is, if you expect Tor
 (with or without Rust) to run on your Pentium II, it's your job to get a
 clean patch to us.
