Using the installer, you shouldn't have to worry about that. The
installer will automatically use the version that best match your
hardware and OS.
pvengine.exe is for 32 bits systems that don't support the SSE2
extension. Limited to 3.5Gb of RAM.
pvengine-sse2.exe is for 32 bits systems that support the SSE2
extension. Limited to 3.5Gb of RAM.
pvengine64.exe is for any 64 bits system, support the full SSE2
extension and can use more than 4 Gb of RAM.
All three versions support multiple CPU and CPU cores, up to 256.
As POV-Ray 3.8 is still technically in it's beta phase, the proper
Release is still in the pipeline.
