On the Collatz website, there is a section called "optimized applications" with a 64-bit Linux CUDA client. I used the exact same procedure to install it as is listed for the VLAR-kill SETI application a bit earlier in this blog. I'm knocking out a work-unit in about 33 minutes on the 9800GT card ... and each one is worth around 570 cobblestones, so not a bad return.
I'm still not sure what was causing the GPUGrid units to fail on this card but I am hoping to keep it running on a mixture of Collatz and SETI. At some stage I may look at building an app_info.xml that allows me to run both CPU & GPU work units for Milkyway on this machine. The only problem at the moment is that they will only give me 12 work-units which the CPU can kill off on its own in a day. I have already got the 8600GT/Celeron running a both SSE3 and a CUDA app for Milkyway and I am always out of work units.
