I'll take one for the team ;-) Win 7 build 7100 x64, BOINC 6.6.25, Q6600 G0 on a EVGA 680i and a GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked. I'll report some results in the next couple of days.

They're out for Vista and XP as well. These finally allow me to run on both GTX295 cores.

At present seems to run fine on W7 i am not sure if there is a performance gain for 9xxx cards on this one, but as i stated earlier W7 runs almost as fast as XP and maybe now even a bit faster.
For me i am pleasantly surprised that many issue which where in the previous version a complete disaster seem to be solved for a great part.

But gaming on the 64 bit version still is hoping it runs, many games won't however.
If your not into gaming the X64 W7(vista2) is a darn steady system os as well
Lets hope the XP on vista will solve the problems with old programs and games.

Kodak, when did you upgrade the driver? Your server 2003 machine has lot's of errors since the 30th of april, but there were also 2 successful WUs. Try downgrading the driver to whatever worked previously for you and see if it helps.

Kodak is your card overclocked ?

Try lower some speeds (underclock) the card(s) to see if gets more stable.

Or are you using a remote desktop program if so switch to teamviewer and your problem is solved
I haven't had any problems since i used the newest teamviewer version 4.1

If all this fails try install old stable driver.
