I have Redhat 9 on my laptop and never updated spamassassin through up2date.  
Since Spamassassin is a perl module, I use CPAN to get it updated.  Have you 
checked the version of spamassassin?  Here is the line I use to check the 
version.

perl -MMail::SpamAssassin -we 'print "$Mail::SpamAssassin::VERSION\n"'

Different CPU's should not make any difference.

What are the 'X-SPAM...' email headers saying?
