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 ID: 1192559 ·

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 ID: 1192563 ·

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? ID: 1192945 ·
