do to heat constraints, i havent been able to do any real folding on my main rig. my room is nice and toasty just sittin still. next best thing, install one of my x2 3800 in my lil bros computer. the newark 754 was getting a lil bit old, and im sure he would appreciate goin from a 6600gt agp card, to a 7800gt pci-e for his gaming.

The last time i cleaned his system was in the spring time. ((the bliss that is youth::: hes 16))

only problem is that i have to run 2x single instances since i dont think hes gonna be startin up the service everytime the system is restarted for SMP yumminess. o well, at least itll help net a few points every once in a while. :beer:

Nice job :)

I am just finishing a similar thing for my nephew ... the 9800 pro in the northwood gaming rig i built for him a quite a while ago bit the dust ... so i upgraded him with a few retired folding parts based on a 930d ... unfortunately win smp isn't bullet proof enuf for me to install it, so like you it will fold standard cores :shrug:

... although i am gonna try to get him interested enuf to get him folding under his own id with the x1950 pro i put in it ... also not a very bullet proof client but it is worth a try .... else no more fixy by Uncle Peter? And now that he has some real heaters in his case, monthly dust bunny roundup will be required!
