Actually, new AMD64 chips (current Opteron and future Athlon64) supports SSE2, and doubling the 128 mmx registers ( 8 for Pentium4 and 16 for AMD64). George Woltman, with P4 and SSE2, has made impressive improvements in Prime95. I'm just this weeks adding SSE2 code to Glucas to see how it can run on opterons, but I'm still in beta code.
