Agreed.
I have an Athlon 64 3000+ running the client. It was tearing through the workunits just fine until this morning, but it looks like that's a different issue. I have had Data Execution turned on the whole time. Could it be a BIOS issue? Gigabyte K8nS here (nVidia chipset) |

i was gonna say the same, i dont think it is 64 related.
on our team (AMD Users) we have some people with 64's and no problems while some people with pent's and amd xp's do. |

I've got two comps running WCG at home.
One P4 2GHz and one P4 3GHz. The slowest runs everything nicely, while there are some issues with the 3ghz comp. Firstly - the UD software doesn't seem to be too happy with hyperthreading, so it only uses 50% cpu. And, secondly... it loses WU's... Extremely annoying. This is sadly the case for all kinds of architectures it seems. Buggy software + SP2 might be at fault. I've seen heaps of threads where people are saying they're about to leave this project... so I hope IBM and UD gets their act together and stops this from turning into an abandoned "halfway there" affair... The marketing is done, the market is at your doorstep - now, KEEP IT! |

Intel invested a lot of $ and time in UD
So its not a big surprise that the AMD64 won’t work. Just look at Folding@Home and you see PPC supported, as well as Linux. The best example is Seti@home, any platform, any OS is supported. But since Intel is calling the shots @ UD. we're stuck. J |

J Your argument would make excellent sense, except for the fact that it's not Intel that's running this project, but rather IBM  . Good effort, though ;) |

I started a new thread on this. I can reproduce the problem on my system. But the new Intel processors have something simular don't they? ( eXecute Disable XD)?

IBM is just supporting the project w/ $$ |
