Kinda, more like Age of empires 3d really
Glide cards are the best I hear since D2 was made for Glide.

running it overnight with the cpu turned off it looks like it'll make about 14000 every second night.

Not too bad.
See if you can grab a 7850. They make 70,000 PPD, and the miners are selling lots off cheap lol.
Combined with my CPU and my 270x, I can pull in 127,000 PPD, but I just fold on my 270x and CPU.
I hear a 4P rig is the best way to rack up them points. 200,000+ per day

I have a 7850 asus ref card at the big house, I might give it a try when we go back there.

Now don't forget that bigadv will go away but even then, folding with a 4p will still net you more than other SMP WU on smaller CPU's.

folding only overnight I get about 14000 every other night with the 770 and about 13000 from the 7850 and the 7850 uses a lot less juice and is cooler to boot.
I tried my hd 7770 card in the pos, but it has xp so no amd folding on it.

Nice background
OpenCl..... You must have the drivers for the GPU installed, or, Xp doesn't support OpenCL which was introduced in 2009(?)

Xp will not work for amd, you need win7. Opencl and core17 made xp obsolete.

dang, and my new boards arrived next day air so my 770's will be held out for the intel rig, I guess the 7850 will be doing it all for a while.

I think it will run vista, but i am looking for a linux distro that is diskless and folding focused.
