Asus socket 462 motherboards always use +5 V! And you cannot get PCI-E on a socket 462 motherboard.

That's be cool to see if it improves the PPD - trouble is AMD support sucks for Linux, so it will have to be a Nvidia only folding OS

If you DO have an old Socket 462, or Socket 478 (pentium 4), then you can use this converter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-to-PCI-...226?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23189f5ba2
I've seen these used on old mining rig setups by people that had such hardware lying around. From the pictures I"ve seen, you can only run one converter. So, only one GPU per old non-PCIe motherboard - I'm speculating it is because of how PCI works.

The only issue I see is link bandwidth. I'm unsure if folding requires a lot of pci bandwidth, if it does it'll be pretty bad on those rigs.
I do want to buy one to try it out, but at $30 + shipping.....
