SETI, CUDA and 64-bit Ubuntu

Given up waiting for SETI@Home to release their CUDA client for 64-bit Ubuntu, so downloaded Crunch3r's version. The directions in the "Readme" file are great and its a straight-forward install.
I'm impressed so far, its been running 20 minutes and its almost 20% of the way through a work-unit that would take around 9 hours if crunched on the AMD X2 4200's CPU


Ok, result is 58.73 credits in 2966 seconds!! I think that is pretty good for a second-hand 8600GT with 256Megs RAM.
