Has anyone noticed anything funny happening with this setting?
I've experienced some odd instabilities with this setting enabled when running FS-plugins bridged in a x64 system (Cubase7 bridge)

I haven't turned that on for a long time now.
When it's enabled, the export can use alternative versions of some code when loaded onto a PC that has a CPU without the SSE2 instruction set. It made sense way back in the early SM versions nearly a decade ago, but IMHO it's pretty pointless now - SSE2 was introduced with the Pentium 4 CPUs back in 2001 (AMD added it a couple of years later to their CPUs) - the target PC would have to be more than a decade old for it to make any difference.
