No. SSE2 is not something you can install.
SSE2 is a CPU feature, it's an instruction set that a CPU can have built into it. The Athlon XP+ series did not have SSE2, they only had MMX, MMX2 and SSE1. You will have to use Premiere Pro 1.0 or 1.5. 2.0 is not supported by your computer.

you also can't judge a cpu solely based on the clock.
this benchmark along with this benchmark (higher is better in these two cases) should be enough to illistrate the performance difference between the XP and athlon 64 line
bottom line: if you're willing to spend between 100 and 300 dollars, it's definately worth it (estimate includes cpu, motherboard and a new power supply should you need one)
benchmarks are not always an accurate measure of real-world situations, but athlon 64 shoul definately show improvements in every area of performance

when i run after effects or premiere pro 1.0...it slows my comp down ALOT. It freezes sometimes and really gets complicated if i have another program open...like windows messenger or word or even a folder open...is this normal?
and if i switch to AMD 64 will it improve?

it can improve, but the memory also determines how fast/smooth your computer runs.
Premiere uses a lot of your computer's memory (AE uses even more), if you have other programs open/have a very complicated section in your video it can drastically reduce performance.
lets say that you are running these programs with your XP 2800 and 512MB of ram. Windows XP takes a chunk of your memory to run (probably around 200-300MB of ram). Now add on top of that premiere (in my experience, premiere takes about 100 - 150MB of ram), other programs take more ram...and soon, you're out of memory to use.
sometime before this happens, windows starts to use virtual memory (a part of your hard drive that is used like ram). virtual memory is a lot slower than physical memory (ram) which makes your performance even worse (but it beats the alternative)
if you try the same things with a better cpu (which takes care of tasks faster) and more memory (faster timings help too, but this isn't as crucial) you will without a doubt increase system performance.
I was doing fine with an Athlon 64 3200 and 512MB ram...but I upgraded to 1GB ram (keep in mind that this is a laptop I'm talking about) because I was getting memory access violations. but with AE, I wouldn't want to run it with anything less than 1GB of ram.
out of curiosity, what are your system specs?

if you do upgrade, this mobo and this cpu only add up to $130
need to get a new power supply? total comes to $150
unfortunately, ram is the most expensive part of this upgrade (~$120), and since the mobo manufacturer didn't make it easy to find ram compatibility...you'd probably have to get Kingston or Corsair.
