    The old 'switcher' mechanism (a program that determined the CPU capabilities and chose an application binary out of three to execute) on Windows has been replaced by the plan class mechanism (the client reports the CPU features and the scheduler decides which App to send). The main reason is that the switcher app caused problems for an increasing number of people that use Windows 7.

    einstein_S5R6_3.01_windows_intelx86__S5R6sse2.exe is identical to einstein_S5R6_3.01_windows_intelx86_2.exe of the old app bundle.

      why does it state "sse2" even though CPUZ reports my processors are "sse4.1"?

      There are only different apps and plan classes for SSE and SSE2. What you see there is the name of the plan class, not that of your CPU capabilities.
