Bug Description
Tried running the GeForce FX5200 with nvidia-173 driver and system would not boot into anything, but low graphic mode. Looked threw the logs and found that the error occured due to my old AMD K6-III 450 not being able to run the SSE instruction set. I hope once the 96.xx.xx drivers are released they will not need the SSE instruction set.

There should be a info page somewhere with information on all drivers available and what they require to run. I can't even find something like this on the nvidia site.
