    The windows xp64 bit boinc client and manager is available now at http://calbe/dw70.de.

    It sets capable of setting cpu affinity and will do so as default...
    and other stuff etc...

    check out the page or compile it your own ...

    CPU affinity might be good -

      CPU affinity might be good - trux experimented with it and it was found usefull on Xeon HTs.

      I might try it on Kentsfield...the more cores, the more potential in setting CPU affinity, right?
      Hope it goes well under 64-bit Vista...

        Thanks Crunch3r, works as expected.

        Suspending particular WU makes one of the 4 cores idle; RRI works as expected.
        Running under 64-bit Vista with no (visible) issues.

                Hello

                Could someone explain me what are the benefits of the 64bits boinc ?
                As far as I know, all projects clients are 32bits, so I don't understand what could be the benefits of a 64 bits boinc ??

                Do you have performance comparisons between 32 and 64 bits versions ? (speed...)

                Thanks

                    Hi

                    Well benefits would be that it doesn't run in WoW emulation because it's native 64 bit.

                    It has some other features like setting cpu_affinity etc...

                      Simple answer is no.

                      You need a 64 bit windows to run the client.
