SSE is on all Intel chips made since 1999, PIII and above.
Athlon XP palomino, since 2001.

SL Minimum Requirement:
Computer Processor: 800MHz Pentium III or Athlon, or better


That means Coppermine PIII that came out in May 2000, which did support SSE.

Amending the minimum requirements to clarify that you mean Athlon XP or 
above wouldn't change them a whole lot.

Even the amended requirements would still mean you were supporting 6 
year old hardware, which I think is very generous.
