Look right above your post...do you see the Folding @ Home team sig banner? That is what he is talking about.

When more people see the banner...then more people will learn about the cause and the team.

Folding @ Home is a distributed computing program done by Stanford University. Basically...it's a small program that runs in the background and receives work units and sends them once finished. You get points for completed work units.

Folding @ Home studies diseases such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers.

Your computer works to help scientist understand the complexities of these diseases and potentially will assist in finding a cure.

I thought the incentive was "FOLDING FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND"

Exactly my point. I don't really care about the prize to be honest. I don't need more computer stuff.

My point is to encourage people to FOLD MORE.

Not just complete a single unit to get entered. How's that helping mankind?

I'm folding on my laptop CPU until tomorrow. I grabbed an 8500GT to replace my HD 4870 for the time being until my replacement arrives.

So tomorrow will be the 8500GT and my X2 in my desktop.

EDIT:

This looks impressive:

If i can ever get my second smp client to pull a WU i should be pushing anywhere from 11-13k ppd.

Scratch that, fixed it, forgot to set DNS servers for the vmware network adapter. Got everything going now, 9800, ps3, and q9450

I popped my old 8600gt in yesterday and cant get FaH to work. It pops up with a core error and shuts down. What gives?

disable onboard gpu, reinstall f@h and then try again. f@h is looking for an ati card(onboard) while you have an nvidia card installed.

Although my second question has to be.....why were you running onboard when you had an 8600gt?
