Just wondering if OSX x86 is supported natively. I have a feeling the current binary I am running is being emulated (don't know much about OSX - just started out tonight) because a long wu takes about 23 hrs in windows, and 30+ hrs in OSX. This is on a Dell Inspiron 1100. Should I use the G5 "Power User" app?
Note: OSX is running natively - no VMWare - so that is not the problem.

OSX x86?

This link should give you some insight on the intel OSX app for einstein. Make sure you are running this app by looking in your messages tab of Boinc.
RE: Just wondering if OSX

We are officially supporting MacOS on Intel Macs.
Which App are you currently running (look into the "Tasks" tab of the BOINC Manager)? If it's 4.26, you are running a PPC App where emulation is involved. If you are running 4.28, you are running a native x86 App.
I honestly have no idea of the behavior of the BOINC Client on Darwin on non-Apple hardware.
Definitely not. You should run the 4.28 App, either downloaded automatically by the client or manually installed (see previous link from Matt).
The BOINC client is also important. The official platform name it should report is "i686-apple-darwin". If it's reporting any other Darwin platform, it will proabably identify as PPC and get the PPC App that requires emulation.
