I just got a new laptop in the mail. It has an i7 quad core (though each core is dual threaded, so Windows 7 and BOINC sees it as 8 CPU cores), with a nVidia GT 650m graphics. BOINC sees the GPU fine, and grabed tasks for it, but I set Milkyway to take tasks on the GPU only and 7.0.28 requested tasks for the CPU also... Not a biggie, but with it running on the GPU, I think some other projects could use the CPU themselves...

Is it just the current client that ignores those preference settings, or is something else going on?

AFAIK on the first request BOINC doesn't know, that you don't like to have CPU tasks, it gets that information with the first reply. So if everything works as it should, now it should not ask for CPU tasks anymore. If you look into the project properties in BOINC Manager, you should actually see now something like "don't fetch CPU tasks".
