Somewhere on teh intarweb "Claude Ortega" typed:

I've gotten 2 Astorpulse WU's, so far, on my 3.0 ghz P4/HT, and on a
laptop. They will be taking a few days to complete. Just let it run. :-)

Thanks again. That one's done (26,730.88 secs of CPU time, 168.62 claimed 
credit, pending) and I see I have another one queued. I looked at the 
SETI@home site after posting this (yeah, I know..) and see that there are 
requirements that must be met by the computer before it's sent Astropulse 
units. Obviously the alogrithm that decides these things likes my computer. 
(Measured floating point speed 3215.65 million ops/sec, Measured integer 
speed 7047.89 million ops/sec per CPU.)

So how do you recognize the Astropulse WUs? I have seen WUs which use/need 
client version 5.28 to process (where it used to be 5.27), but nothing 
specific about 'Astropulse'.

(Keep in mind I am running optimized Set clients, so perhaps BOINC doesn't 
accept/request Astropulse units because of that.)

On another note: Anyone tried installing the new 6.2.14 (or something like 
that) of BOINC? I installed it without problems on my Linux machines, but 
when installing it on a Windows box, I noticed a new question in the 
dialog box: it wants two directories now: 1 for BOINC itself, 1 for data. 
However, the defaults do not place the 'Data' directory inside the BOINC 
directory, but somewhere else.

And, when setting the data directory to the BOINC directory, the installer 
complains one cannot set these the same (they were identical on 5.10.45!).

Fearing I might lose all WUs in progress, I haven't installed it yet. 
Anyone know the deal on this? What should I pick, and can I move the 
Seti@Home WUs across to the new dir? Or should I do something else first?
