My client comes up and says that at every boot, but I know I have an nVidia card ... it's just too old to crunch with ;) ( XFX 7600GT )
Get the Boinc client from here.
The one from WCG is older version and does not support GPU.
As I said - I run XP 64bit SP2 as SP3 generally gives me problems.
I am running the latest BOINC client, so no issues there. Has GPU support just when I add the client it says I have GPU that's supported.
I think the newer drivers require SP3 to work because if I use any of the current listed drivers it resorts my PC turning to 640x480 and 4bit colour mode. The option is there to 1024x768 and 32bit but it doesn't work.
As I say, all my games run fine and I have no issues with anything I want to do. But I've got my copy of Vista 64bit that I've been hesitant to go back to (had too much fun running XP again and stripping it down and such) but more because I can't be bothered setting up Vista to run on my SSD properly...
Haven't got the funds for Windows 7 :(

No I know that, but I had the GPUgrid client setup also
Depends how my budget goes - wanted my 3D monitor soonish so need to do Vista or 7 again soon anyway

I finally joined the team.. I figure since without you guys, my water cooling virginity would have never been ended, might as well give something back. Too bad 'wolven' was already taken, so had to use imiddlet.
I also joined the team with my Q9550 4.25 GHz i realy hope to help people.
i wanted to do the gpu grid also but it doesn't work on ATI Cards i see..
Following this thread from now on :)
thank you guys :) i think i can help with that few extra points to get rank up :P???
Naa just joking but i guess my help is appreciated if i see the reactions :)
(sorry for my bad english im verry tired right now :P)
What are the projects you guys work on cause i just selected them all, does anny one prefer's one? so i can help with that one.
I saw movieman doing HFCC, so how do i change the projects i want to work on?
I like to work on all of them, So i just leave them all selected. (except HPF2 doesn't like my computers, so I stopped that one)
But if you want to change them, just go to WCG.org -> My Grid (top bar) -> My Projects (left side bar) -> select what you want and SAVE.
If you need more help just let us know! :up:
That's up to the individual, I believe. Some here work exclusively on cancer related projects, others on HIV etc.
this realy sucks -.- i had a project on 67 % and now it suddenly dissapeared and started a new one i can't find annything about the old project and id didnt got points of it .... not cool :S
Occasionally something like this happens.
The other night here I am investigating Windows 7.. Total n00b at it..:D
I see it eating up my "wittle" 36 gig raptor so I delete what I think are useless files..
POOF, the 24 work units I was doing disappear..:rofl:
Feel better now?;)
but i realy didnt do annything and you have much more cores then me so its not fair XD
Forget about Vista.. it sucks, big time. I went directly from XP x64 to Win7 as well.
See if you can get a student version of Windows 7. You can get Win 7 Pro for like 30-40 bucks that way :)
Welcome to the team MrDucky :toast:
Don't worry bout those WUs, it happens. Hell, back when I updated BOINC on my all machines I lost a ton of WUs (there was a time when upgrading to a higher BOINC version meant killing your WUs :rolleyes: ) - :banana::banana::banana::banana: happens...
well when it happened i too was like WHAT THE HELL!! OMG THATS NOT FAIR MAN MY CPU IS WORKING SO HARD AND THEN THIS HAPPENS COMMON! :P but now you explained it, i understand that **** happens.
O i got my brother on my account to so we have now 2 Q9550's Crunshing and his 9800GT does F@H when hes AFK so does my 5870. only his Q9550 is @ stock speeds and he only uses 2 cores, i also use 2 cores but when afk 3 and 1 for F@H GPU Client cause it loads to.
I also finished 10 projects already on my own CPU (i dont know how manny my brother did)
You got FAH to work on a 5870? Wow, last time I checked, that wasn't possible. /off to check out FAH section
