honestly I don't know, but I have an i7 quad under the hood. It is working, I have 4 different lines of status bar on my screen.


You are running cpu units, not the gpu units.
Here is an example of what an Nvidia card can do and what a unit looks like:
463.14 222.04 106.88 MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_nvidia)

Here is a couple of yours:
31,615.23 30,655.79 118.25 MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation v1.08
21,062.19 20,428.95 213.76 MilkyWay@Home v1.00

You can see the time to completion is MUCH different as well as the unit name itself. At the end of my unit name is (opencl nvidia), that is missing from your units. The completion times WILL be different between my Nvidia gpu and your gpu, I have a 560Ti and you have a 260M, but the unit name at the end should still be the same when you get the gpu units working.

Have you gone to the web page setting and told MilkyWay to send you gpu units? It is under Your Account and then MilkyWay @home preferences. These are my settings as I use my cpu's elsewhere:
Use CPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ no

Use AMD (ATI) GPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ yes

Use NVIDIA GPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ yes




I went to my settings and unchecked GPU Box. I didn't see the versions you are talking about(NVIDA/AMD)listed. This is what I saw " Suspend GPU work while computer is in use?
Enforced by version 6.6.21+ no" I changed it from yes to NO

Ill see if this changes anything. Ill request more work in the AM. Thanks

I have the GTX 260M in my alienware laptop. According to the notice I received from Milkyway at home, my cpu doesn't support double precision extension, however it is sill computing....any ideas if its working or not.
