You kind of skipped a step
Please redo the section labeled "Configure shortcuts and folders". There are files you need to copy that you didn't or your shortcut isn't setup right.
No I grabbed them and had the three installed. If you mean cudart.dll I had it in the folder. Its looking for nvcuda.dll which isn't listed in the walkthrough. Again I'm trying this on ATI hardware. CUDA I'm pretty sure is a Nvidia only deal.

I've seen people on the 3870x2 use the GPU2 client. I've also hit this issue if my shortcut had the wrong "start in" directory.
...very nice indeed. Thanks thideras!

I was confused by this at first also. When they say "multi gpu" they mean that multiple instances can be running.
Example:
Before SMP came out, people with HT or multi cores ran two instances of the single CPU client, much like what we are doing with the GPU client. One instance per "core". They then came out with the SMP client, one instance that use more than one core. Hopefully they will do the same with the GPU client.

Is that the error you are getting or is that just a general comment?

I have two inputs on my single 19" LCD Samsung so I should be able to toggle between them.I would suggest you follow the guide and just temporarily use 2 monitors. I had instructions for just one screen, but I couldn't get it to work

OK now what's the best sub $200 best bang for the buck card(s) that will OC enough to get good production without burning up?
I have room for two. One on the 16x16 signal PCIe and one on the other 16x4 signal PCIe slot.
What is the critical mass on the signal bus size? Is the x4 signal even worth the expense?
I don't want to blow $200 and have a crippled GPU2 client.

4x shouldn't matter, but you might want to ask around to make sure.

Looks like a good canadate for the 16x4 slot.
I think I want a full 512MB card for the 16x16 slot just in case I want to game or something
