elec999:
I have a quad core q6600 with the latest version of Boinc in Vista. I am not how to properly install the optimized client, I get the optimized to run only two of my cores, while the other two running regular setii.
Thank you

Raistmer:
Very interesting how you manage to get such configuration :)
Basically, you just need to copy all from Files to install folder of SSSE3-version archive you've downloaded to SETI project directory.
Try to restart BOINC.
What processes names that runs on all 4 cores (2 different names I suppose from your post)?

I copy all the files from files to copy to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC and wont pickup

They need to go in the project folder, not the BOINC folder. It would probably be
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu

For BOINC 6 and Vista correct path is "C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\setiathome.berkeley.edu". But beware, ProgramData is hidden directory, you probably need full administrative access with elevated privilegies to see it. (Or to disable Vista's UAC  ;D ).
