I use SSE on my movie computer and my sons computer.
On my sons computer (Celeron2400mhz) it gives a very big increase, some up to maybe 75%.
How ever on my movie computer (AMDXP2600+) it only increases marginally like 25%.
On my server (AMD64,3000+) I use SSE2, it gives also just a slight improvement 30% perhaps.
How ever it is well worth optimizing ...

Ok.. I'm new to optimizing the Boinc client... Which one should I use? I'm running Windows Xp Pro(32 bit) on a AMD Anthlon XP 64 FX 53. Been getting quite a few WU's that are in the 13 hour range that would usually be in the 4 hour area. And then where would I find the optimized client?

Hm I still run 5.15 anyway... so the question is, do you have a AMD XP or a AMD 64 ? if it is a AMD XP you should try this one...
SSE-optimized 5.15
if it is a AMD 64 you should use this one... SSE2-optimized 5.15 app (I would try this one first if I where you !)

I tried both of those also.. came up with the same kind of error..looks like I'll be waiting for the standard app to hit 5.17 then I'll use an optimized app.

I wonder if it was just the fact that the current wu's were "linked" to the 5.17 app, I had that happen on a box, all the wu's in my cash errored out, then it re-downloaded all new work and it was fine.

btw, I am using chicken 5.15 on all of my machines now. my RAC is still climbing.. I think it's been since Monday late afternoon since they've been running with the optimization. I removed crunch3r and decided to go with chicken. don't know why, just did... so far, so good...
It ain't easy being greazy.. Load " *",8,1

I'm also changed to chicken 5.15 except the Celeron and AMD XP mashines...

Ok, got all 3 of mine running the ssse-3 client. I'll be watching the rac to see if it rises any faster.

Inital results show around a 10% improvement. It'll take a lot more for a better feel, but it's looks very promising  .
