Well I'm back online (for the moment at least) and I have to say, it's all going very well. The clients seem to be more reliable than they were before... that's the way it seems anyway.
I've been back folding for about a month or so now, gotten all the way down to 14 I'm really glad I got the GTX 260 C216 over the 4870 at the time I got the GTX 260 C216 because of the f@h but now according to the graphics rankings it now beats the 4870 (It didn't when I bought it).
I'm also going to update my drivers fro 190.38 to the latest 190.62 drivers... I wonder if that will have any effect on folding.
I have noticed that folding with the 190.62 drivers seems to give me a bit more PPD. With the 190.38 drivers i was getting about 4K PPD on my 8800GTS. Once i updated to the 190.62 i now get 4300PPD per WU. So it was a upgrade of about 300PPD per WU that i seen.
