Have AMD XP1800 but need SSE2 - what to do?

[JayAre]

I have a fairly old now AMD Athlon 1800+ CPU on an Epox 8KHA+ Mobo and PC2100 RAM, state of the art in its day!

I need to edit some travel videos so Adobe Premier Elements 2.0 to the rescue.

Tried to install last night but was told I couldn't proceed as my CPU doesn't support SSE2.

What are my options? I could obviously upgrade CPU, Mobo and Mem to something newer but is there just a newer CPU with SSE2 or maybe more that I can plug into my existing setup that would work and be cheaper to upgrade?

Any suggestions...

well, there aren't any socket A cpu's with sse2, so unless there's an alternative ro elements 2.0 then i cant see any other way areound it. new cpu and motherboard time

yeah get a budget socket 939 board for £40 and a sempron for about the same. overclock and it will actually be faster than the xp hehe.
