(moderation:
This client identify my cpu as "03.05.2007 13:55:44||Processor: 2 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz [x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1] [fpu tsc sse sse2 mmx] " wich is not correct, cause i have sse3. I have an IBM "branded" thinkcenter with a intel pentium 4 540 cpu. The core of cpu is known as Prescott.
So it identify my cpu incorrectly and downloads incorrect modules, speed is really slow. Notebook at home (ibm r51 mobile pentium 1.4ghz) calculates data faster!!!
P.s. cpu-z, and other report that i have sse3 ;-)
pp.s. sorry for a bad English.

BOINC can only report extentions recognised by the operating system. I don't think any of the windows OS recognise sse3, ssse3 or later. That is sometimes a good thing, if the OS does not recognise instructions using them can cause problems.
