NEW BETA Windows client 5.92

NEW 5.92 beta Windows SMP client FOR 32-BIT OSes (Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008) ONLY is now available using new implementation of MPI for greater stability:
Folding@home - DownloadWinOther

READ THIS FIRST, from the developer - the installation is a bit complex:
Folding Forum - View topic - New Windows SMP client release

In brief, the new client claims to be significantly more stable. Speed was not the aim of this beta; the speed is about the same as 5.91. But the new MPI implementation should go a long way towards eliminating much of the client startup problems, stalling, crashing, etc. I have not tried it as yet but will report when I do and have time. Some of you will prolly get to it before me, so post your experiences back here in the SMP thread when you do, for everyone's benefit - when you have time.
