    It has actually been on Milkyway for most of the day because last night Moo was down after it d/l'd one wu. Then I figured out when I woke up this morning that MW was better credit for now and left it there.

    Now that the double credits are over see if you can get it to run on Donate-at-home for max credits. If not Milk may be your best bet even over Moo. If your having heat issues Collatz is the place to be.

    Thankx for this useful info. How about PrimeGrid for GPU? How does it stack up against the above?

    For now I put it on Moo because MW was giving me issues w/connecting to localhost.

    If you are running an Nvidia card I believe it is the PPS Sieve wu's that are GPU capable?

    It all depends upon the type of GPU. If using AMD GPUs, Moo is still the best. If nVidia, PG works well. DiRT is good - if you can get work.

    My DiRT saga: The DiRT server refuses to send one of my hosts work. Even after the admins reset the counters in the database, the server decided I had maxed out my WUs for the day even though I haven't recevied any for several days. Yet, the admins also actually believe that 7.0.7 is "stable" even though it shares the same code as the BOINC client which and all 7.x.x version of the client are considered experimental. If I only had a bridge to sell them.....

    Big Thanks, Duke..


    @Slicker,
    I was able to get Cuda work from DiRT by detaching and then attaching. Resetting did not work. I'm still not getting any cpu work on any box.

    No DiRT CPU work either for me. Running DiRT CUDA WUs on the Hydra (Cheetah's) GTX 460s.

    yeah seems like from what i read if you had a cpu wu running before there update it will hang so hopefully once the wu times out on there end we will be able to get work again atleast im being hopeful. only got two of my nvidia working dont know how i lucked out on that one but the other one is stuck on the cpu wu maybe reinstallnig boinc will reset the computer id number or worst case rename the box then reinstall boinc might fix it also but i got to many computers to go through all that atm..
