I do not remember exactly, but I think Boinc has not properly reported the cpu capabilities (sse, sse2, sse3, sse4,..) to the server. Therefore we are going the sam way as einst...@home did. Our app contains versions for the different cpu capabilities in one zip file. A pre-loader checks which capabilities the cpu has and extracts the right version.
