Just use the generic Windows 32-bit (or Windows x86) version. Works fine with Vista.

ok i just DLed both 5.10.13 since i didnt know which one to use. the file names are boinc_5.10.13_windows_x86_64 and boinc_5.10.13_windows_intelx86, so which one do i use? i'm assuming one is for an intel based computer and one is for an AMD?

[karl_eller]

1) Use version 5.10.45. It's the latest official full release, and gets more points than most of the older ones.

2)
boinc_[version number]_windows_x86_64 is the 64-bit client (for 64-bit operating systems).
boinc_[version number]_windows_x86 is the 32-bit client.

A 64-bit OS will net you more points, as well as possibly be more stable (depending on which OS you're using), but if you're already using a 32-bit OS then obviously you wouldn't want to change just for WCG.

OK, I am finely get this squared away for a 24/7 crunching rig. I plan on using Linux x64, since I do not want to purchase another operating system. So, Sierra, do I download 'Ubunto x64' from http://www.ubuntu.com/ and burn an .iso image to a cd and install, then install 'Boinc' from
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php or does the above link install both Linux x64 and Boinc?

Thanks

The link above installs BOINC only

[sierra_bound]

BOINC is included in Ubuntu x64 (though it may not be the latest version). You just need to install the BOINC client and manager using the Synaptic Package Manager. Takes about a minute to do. Instructions can be found here.

Installing the latest version of BOINC for Linux x64 is a little more complicated. Follow the instructions on this page.

Are these V6 clients any good? I'm still on 5.10.45 on all rigs... but willing to change if the new ones are faster
