So 0.058 Tflops per GPU, and only 0.000949 Tflop per CPU on average

The graphical folding@home client now supports the ATI X1600 and X1800 cards. If you have it, do not hesitate and begin folding

Programmable Shaders...the new 8 series Nvidia GPU should eventually get a client if they figure it out/want to make one.

Wow, very very good to hear that. You can fold with your CPU as well as your graphics card. I am jealous!
