(Check compatible Nvidia graphics cards) * Download and install the GPU-enabled BOINC client. (Only Linux 64 supported) * When prompted, enter http://www.gpugrid.net However, when I enter "http://www.gpugrid.net" it complains and says You entered the wrong URL for this project. The correct URL is http://www.ps3grid.net/ Using the wrong URL can cause problems in some cases. When convenient, detach from this project, then reattach to http://www.ps3grid.net/ I ended up detaching from gpugrid and attaching to ps3grid and now it is no longer complaining. Can you either fix the instructions, or make it not display the warning message in my BOINC client? Thanks. ID: 1291 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

You can use both url for now until we provide a proper new name. Don't worry about the warning. gdf ID: 1293 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

On the home page there's no link to the page where installing Yellow Dog Linux is explained anymore. The instruction is on the page for the playstation 3 and on the forum too in the FAQ section. gdf ID: 1294 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
