Read the error.
Your computer processor does not support the advanced instruction set (SSE) required.
Therefore, you need a processor that, well, does.

dang it...i bought that for nothing 
RE: AoE 3 by ShawnZ on 01-27-2006 at 12:35 AM
I wouldn't expect it to run on a 1ghz anyway...
RE: AoE 3 by Supersonicdarky on 01-27-2006 at 01:38 AM
it works fine on my 1.4 ghz...

If you buy a game you should always check the system requirements on the back of the box.
There's nothing you can do but waiting till you have a new cpu.

Exactly what does that have to do with it not working on a 1 Ghz?

If you have an AMD Athalon then it is probably a socket A which is easy to upgrade. For example you could buy a faster athalon or a socket A sempron/duron. These processors are not expensive at all, but it's worth checking out compatibility with your board on the manufactorers w/site before buying (if your in the UK then check out http://www.ebuyer.co.uk for some really good amd deals!

quote:1.4 and 1.0 aren't similar just because of the 1 or because they're maybe both from AMD if that is what you're thinking. The one [MR] has appearantly hasn't got SSE-instructions build in and yours does. That's already a big difference between the 2 cpu's.
