1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Support for BOINC - x64 version (Message 41921) Posted 6 Apr 2011 by old_user133667 Post: Les, I think you miss the point. There is a desire from the community for a x64 bit client as well as the current x86 client. The project may not deem it necessary, but having a x64 client WILL have improvements in calculation speed for use in the community. It is possible to service the desires of the user base and achieve the research as desired, TOGETHER. The suggestion was never to disable the 32bit client, just provide a better one for people with the capability. On top of the x64 debate/request. Given that a large percentage of the world is now running Multi-Core cpus of some description, it would be time for CP to also get Multi-Threading capability like some of the other projects do. And again, this will have dramatic improvements in calculation time. Remember, we are helping the Project by donating our computer cycles, maintenance, electricity bills and such, for the benefit of the Project. The project should support the community that supports it. Keith
