Summed up, I would suggest that you try these settings:

<coproc>
<type>ATI</type>
<count>0.5</count>
</coproc>
<cmdline>w1.15</cmdline>


To save a a bit on the power consumption, you can reduce the memory frequency, as MW doesn't use a lot. You have to see how important this aspect is for you, but going down to 600MHz or so shouldn't show much of a difference to the runtimes. When you go further to let's say 300MHz (if your card can run that stable), you will start to loose a few seconds calculation time. But you could compensate that with a raised GPU core clock of course ;)

Thank you Custer Physik
tried above settings as you recommended.
600MHZ elapsed 5:26
776MHz elapsed 4:23
both when 2 wu's are running on GPU.
GPU temp shows now 75 grd celsius.
running now <cmdline>w1.2</cmdline>
cpu usage is now 0,19% till 0,39% very low, mostly on CPU7 Node 0
with w1.2 the cpu usage is going against zero, really great sucess
the machine shows 0 or 1% cpu usage !!
very impressive :-)

thanks, I installed BOINC 6.10.7
no error occured since then.
I have a 8-core Xeon, what change is recommended for optimal use in the app_info.xml ?
have now:
<avg_ncpus>0.05</avg_ncpus>
<max_ncpus>1</max_ncpus>

<core_client_version>6.10.7</core_client_version>

the machine need 130 sec for each wu. Is this a good value ?
it uses the GPU and CPU 7 Node 0 with 2,14%
temps are moderate:

Temperatur 3 50 °C (122 °F)
The HD3870 Ultimate has passive cooling unit. I built in a additional 10cm fan which blows on the passive cooling unit.
The GPU is not overclocked.
If I will lokup with GPU-Z.0.3.3 to see the load, the driver crashs.

your hints are welcome

Hi Starfire,
I copied all as you said, now it works.
Thank you :-)

but have next question:
24.09.2009 20:02:43 Milkyway@home Message from server: No work sent
24.09.2009 20:02:43 Milkyway@home Message from server: (reached limit of 48 tasks)

how can avoid this limit of 48 tasks ?

some later edit:
now I see the next wu's are downloading and working.
looks like it's OK

the ap crashed every wu...

The latest ATI driver 9-2_vista64_dd_75977.exe is installed

have a look at http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=16466445

Boinc is installed as service.
I stopped the service boinc, copied the 3 files brook.dll, astronomy_0.19_ATI_x64b.exe, app_info.xml
into D:\BOINC\DATA\projects\milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway
then restarted boinc.
------------------------
Does it exactly mean Boinc should no run as service ?
