Thanks for the suggestion I got side tracked on making that machine useful for web browsing so I do appreciate the follow up. I will try that version of SeaMonkey soon. I'll let you know if it goes well. Thanks again!

I may have been wrong about it being non-PAE it seems the flags indicate it is there and also says it on the page I referenced. Either way though SSE remains an issue.
