One other point I'd like to mention. The instructions on the beta test page talk about adding the "five files" from the package ... Now I imagine the first version of the archive probably did contain five files but the current "fixed" version now contains seven files. Are these seven files all necessary?
Thanks, but most kudos should go to Bikeman and Akos for their great work!

You're welcome! Apart from the prefetching-stuff, my main contribution for 4.49 was to help to transplant some improvements from Akos' magic Windows app to the general (Intel) codebase: Amazing stuff, Akos!
I tried this to no avail. I added ".old" to the "einstein_S5R3_4.49_i686-pc-linux-gnu_1" executable file to put it out of use and inserted the new "einstein_S5R3_4.49_1_i686-pc-linux-gnu" in the same folder. After restarting BOINC, it continues to try to download the original file ....
Please slow down and tell us exactly what you did do. You describe it trying to download the original executable but that isn't possible when using an app_info.xml file. No executables will be downloaded - you have to provide everything yourself. Also the "_1" you have shown in the name of the file can't be correct as the file in the SSE archive has the "_1" at the end.
The following is what you should have done if you had been previously successfully running the SSE version of the 4.49 app :-
* Stop BOINC.
* Delete the SSE version of the file einstein_S5R3_4.49_i686-pc-linux-gnu_1 in your Einstein project directory.
* Replace it with the new SSE2 version from Bernd's latest archive, making sure it has exactly the same name as the one you have just deleted.
* Restart BOINC.
If you are trying to run the SSE2 version without having run the SSE version, this is the procedure :-
* Stop BOINC
* Install the full SSE 4.49 package as usual
* Before restarting BOINC, delete one file (einstein_S5R3_4.49_i686-pc-linux-gnu_1) and replace it with the SSE2 version as above (again making sure the name is correct)
* Restart BOINC
If you didn't do one of these two procedures, can you tell us precisely what you did do?
I haven't yet downloaded the SSE2 app that Bernd has provided but if the archive contains a file with the name as you have written it, then the filename is wrong and should be fixed to agree with the name in the SSE archive. You can always cross check the name as it is given in app_info.xml. That is the way that the executable has got to be named.
I just downloaded it, and see two problems.
The file is misnamed. Rename it without the "1_" in the middle, and it should be good.
Also, there's no executable bit set. Do a "chmod a+x" command on the file to fix that problem.
I've installed this on a variety of systems--P-III's, a P-IV Xeon, Athlon64's, and a Core 2 Quad--that are running a variety of Linux distro's. All systems have shown quite a significant speed increase.
Installed the new app on my Core Duo now (Bikeman, it's the one that is so similar to one of your machines, if you want to have sth to compare), transition went smooth so we'll see...

Nope. I fixed the archive.

Yes, depending on the unpacking procedure this usually requires renaming the file.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll adjust the filename and "chmod a+x" my way to success tomorrow when I get a chance.
