As for the Macs they have been running all of the Ralph and Rosetta versions with out problems. The current situation is mostly a windows problem. But it is also affecting systems that are marginal on memory as the protien being tested in the new work units is the largest I have seen to date. Systems with 256Mb of memory are just going to have trouble with the new workunits. Even system with 512Mb where some of the memory is in use for other purposes may have trouble.[/color][/b]

As for 64bit, well it would be a nice thing (as in run natively).
But you would think solaris and MAC-intel would come first as they are official BOINC platforms ;-)

... I think there is already this suggestion in Feedback as it's not a current test....

I just got this message from David Kim who is currently addressing this problem.

"I just reverted back to the previous app. You should notice a version
4.98 now, which is really version 4.83 for windows and mac, and 4.82
for linux."

You all should see some relief very soon. If you force an update it should load the new version once the server is set up.

My BOINC client keeps saying communication deferred for RALPH and then in the messages section it says 'NO WORK FROM CLIENT'

Any ideas? I seem to be sliding down in the results league so i presume others have work to process
