The BigAdv core is being updated to A5 very soon and a new drop in binary is required.

From Kasson @ FF:

Just a heads-up: we are planning to migrate bigadv from running on Core A3 to running on Core A5 very shortly. Core A5 utilizes the same codebase as A3, but pegged to specific version snapshots. We have 64-bit Linux, Win32, and 64-bit OS/X versions of the core in testing; the initial release will likely be Win32 & Linux.

The new core will require a client upgrade; A5 will require version 6.34 or later. The Linux and Win32 versions of the 6.34 client will be released to the public very shortly. If you are running bigadv work units, please upgrade your clients. That will ease the transition as we start turning Core A5 bigadv projects on and turning Core A3 bigadv projects off.

We don't currently have 64-bit A3 Windows cores in release; 64-bit versions of windows run the 32-bit version. This may change in the future, but the initial release of A5 will use the same model.

The bigadv changeover will be relatively rapid; we highly encourage donors who wish to run bigadv to upgrade their clients to 6.34 or later within the first few days of public release. We do not normally perform rapid switchovers for public-release clients, but bigadv is more of a "power user" configuration. After the switchover, pre-6.34 clients set to bigadv will roll over to normal A3 work units (and thus won't be spinning their wheels idly). We also have a number of non-bigadv A3 projects ready for public release that cannot go public until bigadv migrates for technical reasons.

I figured that being prepared could gain us a few extra places over an unprepared Team..

Thanks for the heads up. And for those of you who are using GPU Tracker,

I plan on adding a client updater to the Tracker to make updating to the new 6.34 client easier. For now though, any new installations of the Tracker will use the new client, even if you are using a very old version of the Tracker. (any Tracker version >3.00 will now download SMP client v6.34 during initial setup)

I thought it was supposed to make a difference with the slightly lower clock speeds?

Spoken like an experienced, vetran folder......

About the only time you get more points from Stanford is when they start a new client and want to get peeps involved.
