Hello there,

I got a question. Does anybody know, if there will be some official Windos-x64-versions of the applications used by SETI@home? I know, that there are some optimized apps, but I was not really in the mood of testing these unoffical things.
I got Windows 7 x64 running on a Core 2 Duo T7700 with a GeForce 8600M GS. It's running just fine - CUDA as well. But I thaught, that there might be some more potential in my system.

Thanks for your answers :)

Greetings...
Karsten

their wont be an x64 version of the app. the reason being that the data being run wont run any faster in a 64bit app. its basically running as fast on x64 as it would on windows x86. There are several very articulate responses to others who have asked this question previously.
