Bionic Client Version

Guys,

Have a question to ask!! I am confused with the various versions of Bionic clients. The one Im runnin on my PC listed in my specs was the one that I downloaded from the WCG site.



But when I open the task manager, WCGmgr.exe and all the 8WU showup with the *32 by their side.

Am I runnin the 64-bit vista client that Im supposed to be runnin?

If not how do I go about changing the clients without damaging the WU in progress??

Regards,
Shiv

I think all WCG clients are x86. The 6.1 client (non WCG) running on my server is x64 and the boinc.exe is not running WOW. Despite this, all 8 tasks running are running WOW (32-bit).

6.2 client (WCG) x64 boinc.exe is running WOW. What you are seeing mirrors what I am seeing.


I think WCG doesn't have a x64 build for x64 machines even though BOINC does. All WCG builds are x86.

64bit users can download "boinc_6.6.36_windows_x86_64" from the Berkeley site. Once installed you can select different science projects like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others.
