There is no need to go beyond your current version. Newer versions are for development and should only be used by testers for now.

If you have problems with work fetch and CPU scheduling, you might want to consider going back to 6.2.

6.6 will (hopefully) have fixed some of these.

Hopefully the new 6.6 versions will run better when they are publicly released. However, since you do not seem to be using any CUDA devices, boinc 6.4.7 should be sufficient for you.

If you are not running CUDA, 6.2 has the better work fetch and CPU scheduling.
