I have 2 PCs. I've been using my Linux box, but it's horrible for Milkyway. I have a notebook, that according to the specs should have almost double the integer speed. Which one is better? Keep in mind I'm running the old app, because the instructions for the new app, apparently don't apply to my version of BOINC/Linux.

as for current credit policy it does not really matter - why don't you set up a virtual box with windoze?

Of all my computers attached to this project this one loves it best!
