Didn't see any threads on this, I am getting another nvidia 9800gt and I am going to SLI them, then install the software for folding. Is there anything new I have to do for that because of the SLI or will it take advantage of the added performance automaticly?

Turn off SLI and expand the desktop to the second card.
Make a copy of the data folder, remove any work in progress if needed.
Make a new shortcut pointing at the new data folder.
Start it and config. the client so it has a unique Machine ID and add the -gpu 1 flag.
Run both clients.

Thanks, I will refer to this thread when I get the card in this week and give it a test run.

PhysX's first line is key, folding doesn't work in SLI mode.

Not going to do the SLI anymore, just going to get an nvidia geforce 260. But thanks for all of the help. with only one card it should makes things a lot easier for me.
