Some optimised App's available not tried any of them as currently doing CPDN, so if some one wants to try them and report back

I've had the Linux version running for just over a day now, no problems so far, all the results have validated ok.
Speed seems to be better than crunch3r's app's were:

Mine is the bottom PC in the list Athlon64 3000+, the one above me is a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. The dual core is running crunch3r's app and my slower PC finished the WU slightly faster (alougth the dual core may have been running 2 WU's at the same time).

I hope so, but would'nt count on it.UBT - Halifax--lad wrote:I think the best thing about these one is they have worked closely with SETI to get this going so there should be no arguments of cheating
Have you noticed though that on any projects froums it's normally the people who claim not to care about the credits that start kicking up a fuss about what other people are claiming. :lol:
Just installed the windows version, will post some results as and when I get them.

This is weird - even though there's no 'show graphics' tab on the BOINC manager, the graphics came up as normal when the screensaver kicked in. It did seem a lot quicker though while I had it on compared to before.
I've disabled it now but I'd have thought, for an optimised client, that would be the first thing to go!

Finished the first WU with the windows app (AMD SSE2). About 15 mins faster than the Linux SSE2 version with a WU of the same angle range (0.426).

not had any die on me yet!
bit quicker aswell. which is nice.
was going to try the opti boinc client software to get the credit sorted out, but to be honest i can't be aked. lol.
looked to much like hard work. had to be a certain client to start off with and then change this and that.
unless i got it well and trully wrong that is.

Well they have come up trumps again, now with a BETA Automatic Installer for Windows.
Was looking around to see which one to install as I had not done it yet and came across the automatic installer, it downloads a small program, small WU and all of the optimised science apps for SETI from this particular site. Stop BOINC load up the program and begin the test the program runs through all the apps and then reports back on which one is best for your own computer.
Took about 5 mins for it to recommend a optimised app for my computer and also installed it for me.
At last someone who cares enough about normal users to release such a easy to use way of installing a optimised app for SETI.
Edit: CAUTION: You will have to have the Microsoft .NET framework version 1.1 or later installed to use this application! In most cases, you will have it already.
If not, you can grab it from Microsoft

Has anyone else starting getting trouble with this opti app?

Tried deleting all the opti stuff and then downloaded all new and installed it all again.
In the end just deleted the whole lot and let boinc install the non opti 515 ap ?
All very strange
