You can read about it in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2
It is, in essence, an instruction set that a central processing unit
(CPU) supports. Software written to run on a CPU depends on a certain
set of instructions being present or the software won't run. Premiere
Pro evidently depends on SSE2 instructions

My guess is that CPUs with SSE2 offer a significant increase in
performance that Adobe depends on for Premiere Pro. If you look at
the Wikipedia article it lists CPUs that have SSE2 and CPUs that
don't. The CPUs without it are all older-generation chips.

No idea. But if editing software can't take advantage of the SSE2
instruction set, then it's not likely to have the speed advantage
that SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions give. Are
you sure the other video editors don't require newer CPUs?
If the published Adobe hardware requirements show that your CPU
should work, then you've probably got a legitimate gripe against them
and can at least return the software for a refund.
