I can't speak for the boxster, since my 2000 has not squeeked when braking, however I have a 2004 Jaguar XJR with big bembro brakes which has a tendency to squeek, even with new pads.
The mechanic at the dealership told me that overtime, the pad can accumulate some type of residue, which will produce a squeeking noise when the brakes are applied. You can either manually have the pads scraped, or try the following:
Drive about 40-50 MPH and apply the brakes hard! Do this 3-4 times. This will clean the pads of this residue and the noise will go away (also, it's fun). This has worked for my Jag every time. I have to do this about every 7000 miles.

Good luck!
Eric
