BOINC Version for Windows 7 32-bit?

I'm running Windows 7, 32-bit, 3.18GB RAM and and Intel i7 3930, (3.2GHZ 6-core / No OC). I started out with BOINC version 7.0.28 but was wondering what version was the most stable for Windows 7? I'm also running an ATI Radeon 7850 GPU.

Thanks!

Re: BOINC Version for Windows 7 32-bit?

I wouldn't dare try to put a stamp of most Stable on any of the versions since it is relative to system setup and other factors. I have had no trouble with the latest 7.0.62 client and have many running 7.0.60. However, 7.0.58 had problems over at Climate Prediction. I had no other troubles with it anywhere else. If you plan on using the Intel GPU at some time, I believe you have to use one of the later builds. SETI is currently testing those GPU's. So, YMMV regardless which you choose depending on your setup.

Thanks for the information. I'm not planning on using the Intel GPU since I've got the Radeon 7850 in place. I've upgraded to 7.0.42 but wasn't sure how far I could go without issues. I'm only working WCG so that would be my primary focus. Dave

Hello dkester,

If you are not using 7.0.28 (the recommended version by BOINC), I would recommend to go with the latest version (currently it is 7.0.62).

Cheers
