    Does WCG work with regular BOINC?

    Possibly, a silly question, but does World Community Grid work with a regular BOINC program download? The reason I ask this is that on the distributedcomputing.info site, many projects have a (BOINC) classification, but the World Community Grid projects have their own (World Community Grid) classification.

    Could someone please enlighten me on this?

    WCG used to use a different platform but it is now all BOINC.

    If you have BOINC already installed then just attach as you would to any other project. The project url is http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

    HTH,
