Hi, I when't on your site to see special compiles of Boinc for mac. Well I was going to download one when I noticed you dident have any for the 7460 (Dual 1.42 G4) compiles. Could you add one please. and also, what it the SetiWorker? I do use seti but I never seen it put like that.

Did a little quick research, and apparently the 7460 is functionally equivelent to the 7450, but manufactured on "an improved process". These came out apparently late in the G4 life cycle, so weren't widely noticed, and provided no significant design change.
The key phrase here is "functionally equivelent". There was no design, change, just a manufacturing process change. Since the pipelines, bus speed, registers, etc, didn't change, the 7450 client should be fine for it.

The 7460 has never come out. It existed in the roadmap and was sometimes called the Apollo chip by the rumor sites. If they are to be believed, it was a G4 with native DDR support and numerous other improvements.
Then Moto cancelled it. The Dual 1.42 uses 7455 chips so far as I know.

I believe the Apollo, as it came out, is the 7457. It's got improvements, just not the better FSB interface.

What does hostinfo say?
The 7450 version should work for anything 7450 or greater.
The 7400 version might even be exactly the same.
Im not sure how in-depth gcc's optimizations go with regard to cache and pipeline handling.

This has to be a bug in that application. Someone allowed for the Apollo becoming available someday, but got the code wrong, and it's reporting it on a 7455.

I found some articles where some writers referred to the dual 1.42 as a 7460, but never saw any official confirmation of it. The information I did find indicated a chip that was produced with an improved process, whatever that means, but was other-wise operationally identical to the 745x series. Compiles for the 7450+ series should run just fine.
