I got a msg warning about the new version, and downloaded it, however when I was about to install it, I noticed it's for Intel processors, is it compatible with AMD too ? |

The name-part intelx86.exe points to it being a 32bit version of the program. For 64bit versions is shows as x86_64.exe It doesn't mean that it will only run on Intel CPUs, it'll run on all 32bit CPUs. (Good question though. :-)) |

Ok, OK, you got me. It'll run on all 32bit Intel compatible processors. Mind: It does NOT run on all 32bit operating systems! Knowing Lars, he'll probably be able to port BOINC to work on that CPU, Dag. ;-) |
