Why support a 13 year old operating system running on hardware that is even older than that (as SSE2 was introduced in 2001)? I'm not one for upgrading ASAP; the computer I'm typing this on is 6 years old (but has a quad-core, SSD, 8GB RAM, and Windows 7 x64). That's somewhat old, but 13 years is ancient history in computing.
