A few comments:

- That is not C++ but just C in disguise of C++ code
    . SSE1 CTOR doesn't use initialization list
    . SSE1 doesn't have a DTOR and the user has to
      explicit call the Free method

- const-correctness is not in place
- The SSE namespace should have been put in a "detail"
   namespace
- Use memcpy instead of explicit for
- Why is SSE1 template when it works only when T is a
   single-precision, floating-point value ?

Also I believe a nice interface whould have been:

SSE1::vector A(1024);
SSE1::vector B(1024);
SSE1::vector C(1024);

C = A + B;
