I've had CUDA for 24 hours now and have NOT seen ANY CUDA activity. DO I have to remove "Alex Kan" optimized SETI app or modify it's setup??

How Do I know if I'm currently running a CUDA WU? I've been checking the web after they finish ... there must be some OTHER indication that CUDA is working ...

Yes the Alex Kan optimized app would have to be removed. You can set Boinc Manager to No New Tasks, and once you emtpy your cache, you can remove the app, and then the 6.05 client should download.

Or you can install the modified CUDA app from here and it should be able to complete your existing tasks as CUDA

In my experience, just removing the optimized app won't work. What you need to do is:
Exit BOINC completely.
Go to the Seti directory in the BOINC data directory and remove both the app_info.xml file and the optimized executable.
Restart BOINC.
BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Projects tab->Select Seti and click Reset, acknowledge it.

That clears any straddling files and the entries to the optimized application in the client_state.xml file. Else BOINC may try to go download the optimized application from the Seti server.

Im running BOINCx64, and have now optimised client running perfectly. I was just wondering if a 64bit version was set for the future?
