I am using 6.2.19 with the optimized version for both MBs and APs, should I upgrade to the latest version 6.6.20? I do not have CUDA and should I changed my optimised version?

You could benefit from bug fixes that were incorporated in 6.6.20, So Yeah I'd do It as 6.6.20 isn't just for Cuda.

I installed 6.2.20 over 6.2.19 an hour ago and it was an absolute breeze.
I don't have a graphics card; i didn't even suspend SETI@home before installing it and the process only took twelve minutes from start to finish! ...

Similar here, no CUDA capable card. But i always exit a programme before updating. Took about 3-4 minutes to install over the existing installation.

Ditto. Didn't even need to stop BOINC. Seemless upgrade from 6.4.x to 6.6.20.

Yes, sounds about right. I am running Seti@home on CUDA and rosetta@home on CPUs, have not seen any bugs since I upgraded from 6.6.19

I'm on 6.2.19 (non-CUDA machine, only crunching SETI). From what I've seen in the threads, for this situation the upgrade appears clean. Only when dealing with CUDA and/or multiple projects does there seem to be some issues. Does this sound about right?


I never had a prob even with cuda

I have upgrade to 6.6.20 everything is working. Can I change my app-info file so that I can do the latest enhanced version, which I think is 6.08 using 6.03 or is 6.08 only for Cuda work?

Well I would. Actually all my farm has been running 6.6.20 for a while now. Works fine for cuda and non-cuda machines.

Multi beam 6.03 is the cpu version and 6.08 is the gpu version.

Thanks for this, whilst checking my old version it was using 6.05 and I was informed that this was the wrong one and only should use 6.03. So I changed to only use 6.03, so what is the correct version for non Cuda MBs
