On an un-related note, I wonder if it would be possible to create a kernel module that would could software emulate newer instruction sets for older CPU's, which would allow new games and such to run, albeit very slowly, on ancient computers(SSE 4.2, not found on Penryn CPU, but it is on Ivy Bridge, if it could be emulated on Penryn, then modern games could run...)
No way that you could emulate a modern CPU instruction set on an old crap CPU fast enough to run anything actually relying on the modern instruction set, where is your logic even. "yeah let's make something exponentially harder so we can run it on old weak hardware, that's going to be great".
