So I noticed a recent post on the milky way thread regarding the gpu stuff, and it had to do with issues getting gpu's running on win7 and stuff like that. Not being a boinc fanatic to say the least, I will have to admit that there are a couple of times in the not to distant past where I have even almost remotely contemplated the possibility of installing boinc on a system to fire off on a gpu. So off I go to the various places and before long stuff is inundated with problems, ie no work, connection issues, gpu and boinc version issues, projects either being better on stream or cuda, etc. The long and short of it being that I just figure to heck with it and go back crunching on rc5.

I wouldn't mind giving a boinc project or two a go on a gpu on windows. However there are a lot of projects out there. Milkyway sounds interesting after going and reading about it. What gpus are best on it with the least hassle both setting up and continued operation?

What about the old eternal standby of seti@home. Is work solid on it for gpu's? If so, cuda or stream? Double or single precision gpu's?

What is the team really pushing on boinc, besides everything. Lots of pretty girls out there in the world, but you can't chase them all, DC projects are rather like that. LOL.

So if there is a gpu inclined person on the team that has the good fortune to have been able to figure out all this stuff it would be nice if he/she would post up a how to for team members. And with relatively reasonably priced gpu's too, not the latest and greatest things.

Once upon a time when I was younger, it seemed like various Universities were well known for their specific schools that they excelled in. All the schools want all their fingers in everything now it seems and there is too much mediocrity rather than being truly great in a few areas. DC projects are like that to me. Some people seem to go absolutely nuts in having to participate in every boinc project that comes along. So what's this team really excelling in?
