I've been using 4.24 for the last 36 hours without issue. I've just found a post Rom Walton made to the Seti forum-number crunching. Below is what he said.

I am pleased to announce that the new client is ready for those who want to Beta test the client.

We are down to just a few bugs that need to be fixed before we can release to the world, but given the usage numbers, we would like to get some more coverage on a broader selection of machines.

If all goes well, we'll be releasing the Windows client in the next week or two.

We have also started to use a bug tracking service that is publicly available. You can sign-up and track the progress of a bug that you are concerned about through email or the website. Or you can add any additional information you have about a bug.

Feel free to check it out at:

Thanks in advance.

Boinc Core Client 4.24

I also gave it a try on an old dustbin saved PII-300, running Linux 2.6.8, not a single problem since then. (36hrs)
The Intel Celeron is up now for about 12 Hrs running Linux 2.6.4. Both machines produce the nice Graphics.
On the linux platfoem the WU's seem to require more time to complete even with niced priority settings.

Thanks Development team for the nice work.

John,

It could be a problem with the 4.24 installer pgm, but check to see that you have the 1.1 update for windows installer.
