The CF progress hasn't been updated yet

Now I am at 16:15 per WU with my graphics card at 580/500

Jan, are you not folding anymore? You've dropped to less than 700 points per week...

I will Repeat: What's the main difference between the graphical and the console version? Is the console version any faster?

The graphical version has more control and a "better" user interface, but it has more compatibility issues with running it along with other programs, like certain games.

The console version is simple and easy to use. This is what I do: I run the console version, but don't set it up to start automatically and become a background task, but start it so it is in a DOS window everytime the comptuer starts. That way, I get the compatibility, as well as being able to monitor it.

I set it to start automatically, and use EMIII to monitor it - all the benefits of the console version, plus a nice interface for monitoring.

Yes, the console version is slightly faster (but not by much).

Will this in any way decrease the lifespan of the CPU?
