I have decided i want to start using CUDA

I am going to upgrade the client to 6.4.9

So here are the questions

At present i am using the OP APP Win32_AK_AP_SSSE3x

Can i still use this OP APP or do i need a different one? if so can anyone enlighten me to which one. as it gets bit confusing :)

do i need to run out my present Cache? before I upgrade the client

I have NVIDIA drivers which are CUDA compatible but i have noticed in the group there is new drivers do I need to Upgrade again?

No techy speak just plain english will do thanks

Thanks for you help

I am not techie person and when looking for help sometimes the jargon and techi stuff just totally baffle me. However the few time I have asked some techie question the people who have given me answer have made them simple and easy to understand which i have been very grateful for. It would be good if there was a thread that did this before i post a thread.

He who ask question is wise man he who does not is a fool.

I seem to take longer and claiming more credit than the other person who crunches the same work unit

i did upgrade to one of the Chicken Apps (I think) before all the problems

any advice would be gratefully received
No Techie jargon please keep it Simple
