Will the venice chips hae SSE3 as well?

I'm pretty sure that all revision 'E' chips will include SSE3, including Venice. That seems to be the consensus in various discussions I've seen and AMD's public announcements indicate the same.

That said, is SSE3 actually used much in anything these days? I am right in thinking it can be used in Video encoding and so forth?

I don't really know, but it sucks to get somehting then realize that a feature that would be useful in 6months you won't have b/c you didn;t wait a week for your purchase.
