Downloaded and installed the APP version yesterday - so far haven't seen a big improvement with the MB build - maybe a couple of % on my 5670
Uninterrupted times for a 0.44 AR task about 1hr 35 - down from around 1hr 40
Haven't been able to get any AP tasks for over a month now :'(

Haven't tried it yet, just downloading it now, but first i've got to try Cat 10.9 (without my fix) and see if ATI computation works with Nvidia GPU fitted,
then I'll try Cat 10.10, but i've now run out of ATI work from Seti, and only have small amount of Cuda work left,

I'm running the x32f build and the 260.89 drivers so may be worth BANZAI56 upgrading the drivers and re-running the installer to double check everything is correct

With the project in such disarray, of late, I couldn't tell you exactly what the specific errors were at this point. At one point I saw something about no output file, but that may have been before I uninstalled/reinstalled everything to try and troubleshoot it myself.
FWIW, the rig in question has Win2K Pro for an OS and I thought I had read where 257.21 was going to be one of the last to have support for that OS.?.
If the project issues happen to level off in the near future, I guess it couldn't hurt to try 0.36 as someone suggested. Perhaps 0.37 doesn’t like the combination of the OS and the PCI 9500GT?
The underlying thing here is that it’s a case of ‘if it isn’t broken, fix it until it is’. :)
The rig had an ample quantity of ghosts, but no actual work during one of the early server outages. A quick detach/reattach seemed like a great time to also update the client and the opti app. It is looking like it might become just another reason to simply replace the rig… :/
