Is it possible to send the 32-bit CPDN client to an 64-bit BOINC client?
This might be only a few database entries.
So i can compile my BOINC client in 64-bit and when the 64-bit CPDN client is ready it will exchanged with the next run. With seti I can compile a 64-bit seti client but i can not use it, because for CPDN i need a 32-bit BOINC.

The value for the double precision MIPS is doubled in the self compiled version.
For the integer MIPS the effect is not so high.

I have an AMD 1800+ with Windows and an 1700+ with Linux. With the standard Boinc-client there is a big difference between the two computers. The Linux maschine only the half of the Win client. Then i have compiled a Boinc-client with some optimazions for the AMD prozessor and now the difference is much smaller, near the value i expected.
