Hardware Specs Reported in Dispatches
Photoshop CS6 is crashing at the start (didn't even start, just log the crash) because of the lack of ssse3 instructions processor (phenom II X4). Is there any way to bypass this and run the software?
With that kernel is expected that Photoshop CS6 works on Phenom II X4 970BE?
