The single/multi processor state can be changed after an application has been installed. A JVM will adjust accordingly, but happens to your EXE that was selected/compiled for the single processor that existed at install time? There used to be an issue with maths coprocessors (and may be again if AMDs ideas surface in a product). I think it is still possible for processor upgrades to add SSE3 or similar capability.
