It may sum it up for you, but it begs questions, such as:
1. For what? BOINC itself? The OS?
2. For which project?

In other words, what did you compile?

I've understand that boinc supports cuda now right? I'm compiling th client from source, is there a special flag that needs to be enabled inorder to have the client support cuda?

No, support for CUDA is built into the client... You then need the correct drivers for it for your OS and an application that can use the graphics card. The only one possibly being tested is on GPUGrid, Seti doesn't have one yet (unless you also compile it from source).
