Here I ahve a 64-bit GNU/Linux machine with Intel Core i5 2500K. After I added Einstein@Home it downloaded Binary Radio Pulsar Search 1.05 (BRP3SSE) but I got a computation error. I figured this is because this application is only available in 32-bit and there is no 64-bit version for GNU/Linux. So I went into the settings and disabled this specific application and only left the other two which have 64-bit applications. But when I updated Gravitational Wave S6 GC search was downloaded, but still I got 32-bit version insted of the correct 64-bit one. Looks like the scheduler is sendinf the wrong versions for 64-bit GNU/Linux.

You can run 32 bit apps on 64 bit Linux if you install the 32 bit compatibility libraries. See here for more info.
I'm not sure why the server is sending you 32 bit apps when it has 64 bit apps available. I'll let the project admins comment on that.

The 32Bit (SSE2) App is faster than the 64Bit one, so if the Client reports that the host can run 32Bit Apps, it gets sent these.
Reported on June 15th there are two successful tasks from the 32Bit GW App. An idea why these were successful?
