Eclipse Community

Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

I found this thread on their forum and really downloaded his builds and tried. It's really a real speed up compared to official builds of Pale Moon.

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&p=224015&sid=805851ef52ea9f568ddb921abbf461a0#p224015

I wanted to send feed back to him but my account was banned. So I tried to register on the Pale Moon forum using my AOL email address and ironically the forum said dispossible email address not supported. This mean they consider AOL to be a dispossible email service. Then I gave up.

This is for Windows 7+. roytam1's builds for Windows XP will never have AVX/AVX2 as Windows XP doesn't support these instructions. Someone on the masm32 forum managed to have AVX/AVX2 working on plain DOS but it's quite tricky. Most machine running XP doesn't support these instructions anyway. Mine is a fairly modern machine with triple boot XP, 7 and Linux.

I previously suggested that Roytam1 make an AVX NM27 build for the lolz, but he refused ;-;

Windows XP doesn't support AVX and AVX2. His builds are primary for Windows XP. So what is the point of doing such a build?

How does XP not support AVX though? It's a CPU instruction set. 7 was released before AVX and well before AVX2, yet those work fine on it.

Quoted from the masm32 forum: the Operating System (Windows 7 with SP1 and above) must support the new instruction set. For example, there's no chance to use AVX with Windows XP.

most machines running XP can't browse 95% of the internet at this point considering the amount of goddamn bloat. why bother at all
