Seti@Home optimized science apps and information

After reading posts here and at SETI I need a little advice. I am running Raistmers V9 CPU_GPU team and BOINC Manager 6.6.20 on a WINXP 32 system with an 8800GTX card.
I want to update to 6.6.28 and keep running optimized apps but not the CPU_GPU team as per Raistmers recommendation to allow the manager to handle the scheduling.
After doing way too much reading here and at SETI I still can't find any single, concise procedure and directions to the appropriate downloads. Where can I find the optimized CUDA app or is there even one available yet? Do I just let SETI dl whatever CUDA app it wants? Where can I find the correct appl_info.xml file? I don't have a problem with editing the one I have I just need to know WHAT to change so I don't hose myself...
I usually run 4 APs on my QX6700 and 1 MB on the 8800GTX. Sometimes ( recently ) I have only had enough APs for 2 or 3 of the CPU cores and have run multiple MB's, which was no problem with the team app. All the MBs I have show as "setiathome_enhanced 6.08", will this cause me any grief if I switch away from the team apps before I empty my cache?
Anyway, I could use a little help and or advibe...thanks in advance!
EDIT: I am running the latest 185.85 drivers

I would suggest the Unified installer beta.

That should take care of most of the work.

rjbgames,
The different optimised Cuda V11 apps can be found in this thread (the latest 4 apps and 2.0/2.1/2.2RT's are in the last five pages)
V10/11 of modified SETI MB CUDA + opt AP package for full multi-GPU+CPU use (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/12-gpu-crunching/v10-of-modified-seti-mb-cuda-opt-ap-package-fow-full-multi-gpucpu-use.390.html) Read the last post first.
The procedure for doing the whole thing is here:
app_info for AP500, AP503, MB603 and MB608 (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52589)
and the latest Faq is here:
FAQ's, Astropulse, Cuda, MultiBeam - Read Only (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=53593&nowrap=true#897260)
or you can try the Win32 Lunatics' Unified Installer FINAL BETA (http://lunatics.kwsn.net/index.php?module=Downloads;sa=dlview;id=184)

If during the installation you selected All Three AP, MB and Cuda then you should not have an empty CPU.
I would suggest the Unified installer beta.

That should take care of mosô o th` work.
Thanks, I wasn't able to dl that before "ut it worked this time. It ran O.K. but for a small wrinkle....
All ly cached setiathomeßenhancdd 6.08 tasks cratered with the following: [error] No app version for result: windows_intelx86 608
It has now downloaded new tasks as follows: setiathome_enhanced 6.08 (cP@a)8`r />I guess I owe my ( former ) wingmen an apoloo} :( :o
< b />One nther question...if one of my cores runs out of APs to process, will it sit idle or will a MB task just run on it instead? ie. 3 CPU APs, 1 CPU MB & 1 GPU MB?

One other question...if one of my cores runs out of APs to process, will it sit idle or will a MB ask just rŠ on it instead? ie. 3 CPU APs, 1 CPU MB & 1 GPU MB?

Thanks, that's what I did. I have now started to see 6.03 down lods, guess they just took a while to show up...
