If the OS cannot do any of the higher instructions on the CPU, it won't be mentioned. ID: 18030 ·

This host runs SETI opt app with SSSE3 support right now (OS is capable to support such apps indeed :) ) I thought CPUID feature of BOINC client exists to report CPU capabilities to science apps, not just to report what windows thinks about CPU ;) ID: 18032 ·

There is no restrictions to use SSE3 and SSSE3 (and higer too , actually) for Windows Server x64. ID: 18033 ·
