The Milkyway project requires a GPU that can do double precision calculations. The 9800 GPU does not have this capability.

I think SETI will run GPU projects. Einstein has a GPU beta, but work is not regular. I use the Folding@Home client on my card (same model as yours, but 512Mb VRAM), but this is not BOINC.

I'm running SETI on mine, I am getting between 4 minutes and up to an hour on WU's. I am guessing the difference in times depends on the type of WU it is dealing with
