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.

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
