I actually found an older sse3 windows one quicker than the one Carlos suggested, but by all mean try it yourself it may be different for you.

This is the one I use (link) which I've archived for quickness. (original link)

ozaudio · 16 Feb 2016 at 10:24

that's the one I found hanluc and seems fairly quick, will any of these work on AMD cpus or intel only?

As long as the CPU supports sse3 it will work, tbh it would have to pretty old not too. I'm not sure about the haswell one Carlos linked to, that might need AVX or AVX2, it will error out if it's not compatible.

The one I use is this one:

https://cld.pt/dl/download/a92f13a2-8a34-4983-8732-32b1be9398ca/c2d.zip

This one is faster on my machines, even on Core2. Just unzip and replace.

ozaudio · 16 Feb 2016 at 11:13

I have it working on both my intel and on the amd g34s now. time to add more overclock to the amds. will run it proper from the start date, currently just making sure I get the apps working. or maybe I should download 5 daysworth of work on the amd and " unplug " the Ethernet and the reconnect on the 22nd lol

andy_taximan · 16 Feb 2016 at 13:04

Have you made a comparison between this and the one I posted? I have on a 3770K and this is around 8% slower, though both are significantly faster than the stock app.

Carlos Pinho · 17 Feb 2016 at 10:33

Hi hanluc,

After all I am using the one you shared. Yesterday when I was replacing I just saw the size of the file was the same.
Apologize, to all, please you hanloc's one.

Kind Regards,

Carlos

Old big rig out of storage rebuilt and on this.

Have similar cpu's running this on linux and windows and it looks like the optimized windows app is still not quite as good as the stock linux version.

Can anyone confirm this?

I tried on Linux but couldn't pick up any work.

I think we will be an 'also ran' in this I'm afraid, many of us will be joining late due to the sat@home challenge, and I don't believe any of us have bunkered.
