Is there one? I've had s@h client running in the background for a few years & never paid much attention to the program. The most burning question that I have is having installed BOINC software, do I unload the original s@h client?

You can if you wish, or you can just leave it in place if you wish...

Boinc and s@h 'classic' install into different directory trees, so their files do not interfere. If you run just one or the other, then fine also. If you try to run both simultaneaously, s@h 'classic' will hog most of the idle time computing due to the set priorities.

If you have the disk space and there is no confusion as to what is running, then just leave the old classic there as a record of your old account details.



I'm still looking for the BOINC install. I don't want the GUI and I
don't have the compiler to do the compile for the other.

See:

I guess you are wanting a 'Windows' cli... The linux one comes as a cli (;-))

(Sorry, not played with the Windows Boinc.)
