Is it so, because of those 32 bits? Or maybe Boinc has to be in some version, or I need to turn it on somehow? On the page with hosts http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/hosts_user.php I have "---" as gpu for that computer. ID: 35091 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

An 8600gt is only single precision. A 260 gt and up (275/280/285/295)are double precision. Not sure if 250's can be used? ID: 35104 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
