Buuuttt... it uses 64bit calculations for most WUs from what I read, 32 bit support is minimal now I believe. It's just like old 64bit iTunes back when it was still based off of 32 bit coding, it was a 32bit process but only ran on 64bit PCs. F@H should run on 32bit but finding WUs or at least high PPD WUs may be near impossible.

I'm a dummy sorry lol

Wow I honestly can't remember where I saw it, I saw it over a month ago and now I'm not sure if it was right or not?  :wacko:   So unless I come across it again, I'd say just forget my last comment for now, I may have been confusing it with the Single vs multi-core deal where there isn't any WUs really anymore for single core CPUs?
