I have browsed through the BOINC source and seen that you use uname. I thought it strange that all Mac project contributors use Tiger :-). If you intend to establish the MacOSX version rather than the Darwin kernel version use /usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion . The command /usr/sbin/system_profiler would also give this information and identify the GPU/s, CPU/s in use. But would need more processing.
