Hi, My machine has a 6 core AMD Phenom X2 + 16GB or RAM + 2 x ATI 6970 2GB in Crossfire. I notice the tests utilizes all 6 cores to 100% and uses about 10-12 GB of RAM which is great but there is zero activity on my graphic cards. Do I need a plug-in and a add-on to use ATI graphic cards? Does SETI@Home take advantage of ATI GPU? Thanks... Behnam |

There are no native ATI GPU apps. You'll need to use the Lunatics Installer to get apps that work for ATI GPU's In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

... and uses about 10-12 GB of RAM No way, every SETI CPU task/app uses only about 30-40 MB of RAM, it just don't need more. Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Do I need to uninstall Bonic SETI@Home first and install this fresh or it can be installed on top of my installed default Bonic? |
