8800GTS 512 ppd

[Dapman02]

I was thinking about getting back into folding, but I don't want to put my beloved 9800GX2 under all that stress. I am looking into getting one of those refurb 8800GTS's on newegg to use as a dedicated folder and I had a few questions.

1. How do I set up a driver for dual cards but not sli. Do I need to do anything special or will the drivers automatically detect them.

2. How many ppd should I get

3. I have a 650 watt 80 amp powersupply, can it handle the load.

Disable SLI in bios, I believe (I have no SLI boards).
6200 ppd if you don't fall victim to the mismatched card syndrome. 3500 ppd if you do.
650 watts should work, though watts @ 12v is what's really important, not total watts.

as for SLI, you can either disable it in the BIOS or from the nVidia control panel.
