Hi all,
I did a brief search on this but found no good answers.

I am running x64 Windows version 6.6.28, which shows up fine in task manager as an x64 app. The problem is that the two projects I am connected to (SETI, Einstein) are only running x86 versions. Shouldn't the x64 version of BOINC retrieve x64 project executables?

For example- in task manager, I see:
einstein_S5R5_3.05_windows_intelx86.exe*32
when I expect to see:
einstein_S5R5_3.05_windows_intelx86.exe

Thanks!

Only if the projects has 64bits applications for that OS. For Windows both projects have 'only' 32bits applications, see SETI@home apps and Einstein@home apps.
