Comment 11 for bug 1353185

Frederick, there was no chromium 35 in Ubuntu if I remember correctly, so you are probably talking about Chromium 34 (that was the current version in Ubuntu until a few weeks ago when it was upgraded to 36). Chromium 35 has stopped supporting non-SSE2 Linux systems because, according to Google, there are exactly 0 Linux users without SSE2. I'm sorry, you don't exist.

See the chrome bugtracker link above:

Also, AMD processors apparently do not exist in the Google universe, so now we have Pentium 4 as the minimum CPU requirement. :-)
