That would be awesome! We need as many PPD as possible.
Although, when Nvidia cards come out soon, you'll be eating my dust.

Weak US dollar = win for me. I'm just going to get it from newegg and have it sent here.You plan on buying one? They will be expensive

I'm sure they will be great for folding. On paper they look powerful.

ScOuT, where did you download that FAH program? I can't find it on the list in the sigs. Is that an update or something?

It's a small program that tracks your Folding stats. It's great...as long as I Fold...FAHMON will be running.
It can be a little tricky setting it up...let me know if you have any issues and I can walk you through the process.

Ok, I installed it, and when I go to Add New Client, do I select the FAH under program files in Windows Explorer?

1. Download and install
2. Open FAHMON and click on "clients" and then select "add new client"
3. You'll then see a box like this
4. As the picture states...type in a name and then paste the log file file location. To find the log file location start your client, right click the icon in the task bar, highlight status and then go to "Log File...you will see some thing like this.
Then you have added the client
****Sorry about the slow response...took me a couple minutes****

Thanks man 
Appreciate it.
What's optimal CPU usage for this program that you'd recommend on a Quad core?

Oh, I didn't mean FAHMON, I meant F@H. Sorry

for maximum PPD, you want 100% CPU usage and run your PC 24/7. If you're overclocking, make sure it's stable.

Should I make it so that it distributes throughout all four cores or should I keep it to one core?
all four cores. You gotta use the SMP client and enter the -smp flag when you install the app. There's instructions at the folding forum and I think Scout wrote up a quick guide in this thread.

That looks like a good guide. I haven't run the CPU client in over a year, and i don't have any experience with the 6.xx client.

After a long overdue haitus...Im back in the game. Wanted to wait til i got onto water for my cpu because the S1283 wasnt keeping my quad cool enough for my taste. 50C load while folding however makes me very happy

Yeah, folding for CF. I stopped folding over a month ago because of my CPU temps being too high for my liking and now just started folding again.About time...nice to have you back

Sweet...we need you!
I was looking at the new water loop you installed. I was thinking about it also, but, my wife will have my computer for a year. I did think it was a good idea.
50c while under full load is great...run that SMP like a mad man
I finally got SMP running again...ahh...it feels good. And temps are great for air
