By the way....World Community Grid(my other client) actually folds for Dengue drugs and west nile stuff....i wish they would fold for aids or something...that kills more people than cancer....

get a nice used x1600 or x1800. Im using an x1600 on my fold rig....works flawlessly and pretty fast too.

I want faster!!!


And in other news.. I GOT MY 8800gt!!!!!!!

I was gonna take pics but i was too excited and had to put it into my rig right away. I hit almost 8k in 3dmark, everything at stock speeds. With the 8500gt, i didnt even get 2k. My cpu score is 1859, somethin like that.

For dedicated folding machines, the setup that will get the most PPD are Core 2 duo's or quads running linux and using the linux smp client.

Yup i know, already folding for another team, got over 10k. I may consider coming to tech forums though, that team is pretty small.
