Linux clients & SSE vs 3Dnow

With newer distro's you need the "B" client and thats what I have been using but could only get 3dnow to work but another way to get it to work with SSE instead is download the protein with the 3.24linuxB and then switching to 3.25linux beta and crunch the protein with the beta client using SSE which I notice gets done in 2/3 of the time as 3dnow but once it finshes and sends it will seg fault so then I would have to switch back to the other client but the last few times the 3.24 client it has had SSE enabled I don't know if I've just been luck or if this has something to do with it but for the flag I have started to put forceasm first and before i think it was last. Don't see where it makes a difference but maybe it does.

    Wish I had the time to be able to mess around with Linux.

    I just finshed a wu and it went back to 3Dnow and restarted client and then it went back to SSE but this isn't a good method. How well is the windows client doing at enabling SSE with AMD cpu?
