I have been on BOINC projects for two or three years already. Since before 
WCG supported BOINC for sure.

Oh I see, glad you decide to help on the WCG.

I'm curious, what other projects are you running?

I have accounts on most projects :P

*Currently* I run them based on what I need to test at the moment (I'm a 
developer for a BOINC fork). But I did quite a lot of crunching for
WCG Dengue recently, since my country was quite affected by it.

Oh I see, so you're doing more than me and you already knew about WCG 
then, glad to know one of the BOINC developers. My Country was also 
affected by Dengue and Influenza and the WCG was the for us too, is 
reassuring :-)

And now I have the opportunity to ask a BOINC developer to make 64-bit 
versions of the projects, the one you're working on please, with 128-bit 
floating point instructions for even faster processing. I have 
confirmation that the 32-bit version of the WCG run up to 30% faster 
just because they're running on WinXP x64. :-)

Cheers.

I'm not one of BOINC developers. I contribute to BOINC "externally". And 
last year me and two other people got fed up with the BOINC developers and 
made our own derivated version ;)

Projects are independent, and BOINC developers have no control over them. 
You should ask the *project* developers to support 64-bit.

Must have been interesting :-)

Oh I see, I'll try that, thanks Nicolas.

Cheers.
