This is ANOTHER road we seem to wander down once in a while around here!
ANY AMD processor that Pre-dates the Athlon XP does not have ANY SSE extensions (remember 'sse' is an Intel 'thing' that AMD had not licenced), so you must have an AMD Athlon XP, or newer, processor.
When you install XP SSE is turned off BY DEFAULT when an AMD processor is encountered.
Micro$oft used to offer a 'patch' to turn on SSE with systems with SSE enabled AMD processors, but discontinued it 'as such', rolling the patch into the "windoze moviemaker" update.
So, IF you have a SSE enabled AMD processor, AND you have installed the Windoze moviemaker update, then you HAVE SSE, otherwise, you don't.

For AMD, all chips starting from Athlon4 possess SSE.
