Ok, I have an AMD Althon 3700+ San Deigo which won't run any SSE2 Aplications/plugins. It says that its compatible with SSE1,2,and3... In one program (Don't remeber which one) It says that my processor can't do SSE2 instruction sets... was I tricked by AMD or something?

Thats the AMD Althon 64 3700+ San Deigo right? If so AMD did not rip you off as its supposed to support up to SSE3. Im thinking you need a chipset driver and/or a BIOS update but I cannot find either at sapphire's site. I have never owned a motherboard with an ATI chipset so I really have no idea how their driver updating program goes.

It's your motherboard not your processor.
