I finally had to replace mine because my CPU was, I think, x64 v2, but at least two games needed the v3 instruction set.

    I'm actually kicking myself a little bit. I was having some trouble with my processor and decided to get a replacement and I got a one-to-one replacement and I actually should have gotten the absolute limit of what my motherboard was capable of handling. I didn't do that and now my computer is just shy of being able to run Diablo 4. 😒

    RHEL9 and forward require v3, and the numpy in pip as of a few versions back uses either v2 or v3 instructions, so v1 is silently broke for certain workloads. FreeBSD works on it just fine as do Debian based distributions as long as you don't need recent versions of numpy, but there's no telling what else out there just tries to run and fails with an illegal instruction.
