Please note: applications for the Intel Mac platform has now been released here.
We\'re not currently supporting the Power-Pc variant.

How great to find Mac support again! I came by the website today, just to see what was going on and never suspecting I\'d find a new Mac client. But wow, there it is. I immediately upgraded the old unused BOINC on my drives and my four modest cores are already crunching. Hooray. Thanks guys.

Hi it\'s been a while and I wanted to make good on some work units but was well beyond the report dead line. The sever rejected the trickles and update request.

I eventualy found out that CPDN is no longer supporting the PPC macs but only after a rather long read around. could I suggest that the system requirements state explicitly that the ppc is not supported and maybe even point to Rosetta Einstein and Seti as alternate PPC crunching options.

Even sticky this post for the ocasional surfer. \'Older Mac support\' as the title?

I\'ll detach now but will check in from time to time to see if my long in the tooth quad can rejoin the crunch.

There was a thread about this here for a couple of years, and it WAS stickied.
But it was unstickied and allowed to sink when this thread about the new Mac models was created.

There will NOT be any further support for the older non-Intel Macs, as the project has long since moved on past what they were capable of.
