No not at all, you only need your internet to upload / download work units so any connection will do.

Also welcome to the team :toast:

sweet
is there a banner or something a can put in my sig?

and is the high performance client the better choice for me?
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther

Yes you can grab the pic in my sig and use it if you like ;)

Download the GPU Console 6.23 client to use with your card, it seems to be the best client.

I see you have a 4870x2, you can run two instances of the client with this card I think.

Maybe some of the other guy's can help you set that up (I have not run dual clients from the one card before :eek:)

For the location did you use C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home\

Yes the GPU2 client is for folding with graphics crads.

Just snagged a PCP&C Silencer 750w Quad. Now I just need my GTX 260s. Bogmali! Stop upgrading your hardware. If you upgrade your hardware whilst I attempt to upgrade mine, then you will still outpace me. This is quite clearly unfair in the rules I just made up for our Fold Off. If you do not cease and desist, I'll make vague sexual references at you.

Oh, does anyone know if I can still snag a legit Key for Windows 7 betas? I want to have a 64 bit OS on this so I can use VMWare (and also try out Win7). I'm sure I can find downloads of the beta but I don't really want to use a keygen, and seeming I've never looked into this before I know absolutely nothing.

Muahahaha. Thanks Stanhemi.

Now the last thing I need is to conjure up some cheap GTX 260s 216s. Unfortunately this is proving to be the hardest. For the time being though I'm going to run a 9800GTX in the second rig, which will allow me to get the q9450 up and running. I'll fend you off yet Bogmali, you doer of evil.

Wow, a lot of mentioning of me on here:D

I was busy swapping out my main rig and converting it into a Core i7 (sorry El:p). Finally done and my GTX275 just started folding too (sorry again El:D). Welcome back Mmaakk, let's see if you can regain your old spot.

Curses! No seriously, curses. You'll be topping me in PPD. Hands down. Mind you, there's a K9A2, 9950BE, for sale here. I've got 2 people offering PSUs that could work so I could pick up a spare. All I'd need is a good cooler and 4 x 'something nice' nVidia cards. Eh damn. My bank balance. My poor bank balance.

Hey guys....

our WCG team needs some help here on TPU.

you can "crunch" on your cpu while you fold on your gpu's and your machine will still run very smooth for every day usability.

i invite you to help us here... http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=85784

alot of us "crunchers" are folding at the same time.

Kursah, me, dark2099, cyberdruid, just to name a few.
