SSE2 is generally preferred over MMX since you can handle even more data with single instructions (and/or other types)
A big chunk of SSE2 is a direct replacement for MMX as well. The MMX code could serve as a template for the SSE2 replacement. You still have the problem of nearly half a dozen SIMD variants to test for on x86 which is an ass pain.
