Doesn't the 32 bit program for FreeBSD work?
The AMD 64 chip is NOT optimized for doing the kind of calculations
that Seti does. It would only be barely better than a 32 bit chip of
the same speed if a specific client were written. All in all not a
worthy programming job at this point in time. maybe when Berekeley
gets the programs settled down to where they are not updating the base
program every couple of months it would be worthwhile, but with the
constant changes the advantages just are not enough.
