The version of BOINC that is included in the Ubuntu default repositories is rather outdated. I used the deb file from www.getdeb.net to install a client (6.4.5) that was recent enough to allow me to run a CUDA card on my 64-bit Ubuntu installation. I am the kind of person who will never remember to check for updates, so I have added getdeb.net to the repositories so that Update Manager and Synaptic can see updated packages.
This is achieved by adding "deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/" to the Third Party sources in Software Sources (found in System > Administration > Software Sources). This will also update a number of other packages on your computer, so make sure you are happy with the security and version numbers before you go ahead.
