SSE/SSE2 support for AMD Athlon XP

[liquidmonkey]

hello, i have a bad feeling in asking this question but here goes,

i'm running an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (winXP-SP2) and just tried to install 'Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium' and it would not continue as it says i don't have SSE/SSE2 support.

is there a patch for this by any chance?

i'm planning a chip/MB upgrade in december but right now its kind of a bummer that i can't run this program

Nope. In order to actually see what flags are on the CPU, go to www.cpuid.com and download the CPUZ program. If you do not have SSE/SSE2, you cannot use the program. I know this because my Athlon does not have anything. MMX and 3DNow! (+)

Hello,

You can turn that stuff off/on in the BIOS right? Check that.

yeah i'm still running a barton and it does support SSE

True, but he might run a Throughbred also.

And, apparantly, yes, you have SSE on a Barton, but, not SSE2 and the program needs it.
