from looking at you applications page it appears you have already a version for 64 bit in linux i am wondering if you are planing on making a 64 bit version in windows i am currently completing work units in between 90 and 100 seconds where as a team mate with linux 64 bit app is completing work units in 48 to 54 seconds so it would appear that these real benefits going to 64 bit with windows as well

edit i have disabled new work requests for this project and i do not see that changing till project adjusts credit granting rate (quick calculations works out about 1/3 of what i am getting form other project with 64 bit app if i was getting some where around 1/2 of 64 bit app i might be inclined to stay even though monthly bandwidth might be an issue) and the ability to send more then one work units at a time and the length of work unit basically with the current length of work unit i would end up using more then my allow bandwidth per month (10 gb up and down) quick smart

We would like to have a 64 bit version for windows soon, we just need to get a machine with 64 bit windows to compile on. We'll talk to the RPI labstaff and see what they can do for us. I'll also take a look into problems with credit granting issues.

you can download a free 120 day trial of windows XPx64 from microsoft this will only work if you have 64 bit cpu available anyways may help may not lol

also i have noticed that it appears that these no stats export going on i think this would stop a lot of people running this project since these no bragging rights
