Hi all, I would like to run the optimized CPU app on my MacBook, but as there are no NVIDIA OS X optimized apps for SETI or AP, run the stock AP GPU app.

Is this just asking for trouble? Would I be better off running the optimized CPU app and not use the GPU for now?

Thank you

While there are no optimized apps, the standard apps that are now available work pretty good.

TBar can point you to other apps if you want to try them but it took a long time for them just to get the current ones up and running.(With TBar and Urs help)

So you might want to try the standard ones first and see how they do.

I've asked again to have the CPU Apps released to main; http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta/forum_thread.php?id=2164&postid=54866#54866
about all I can do.

If a Mac User wants to try the 'new' Old Mac nVidia CUDA App they should join http://www.arkayn.us/forum/index.php and ask to become an Alpha Tester.

Cool, thanks for the replies.

I will just leave it as is for now.
