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?

The point is to raise awareness about the cause and the team. My idea behind it was to motivate Folders and to seek new Folders. I am really focused on new Folders. The older members should be encouraging them and explaining how to run the clients.
Many people think that "if they Fold...then they cant use their computer for normal everyday tasks because all the resources are being used" We all know this is completely untrue and I use my computer for everything while Folding SMP and GPU wide open. I can still watch Youtube videos and surf the web without an issue.
I was worried this debate would surface at some point
It would be completely unfair to give out prizes based on what a person has for hardware and what they can afford for a computer. As we all know...the more powerful the rig...the more Folding you can accomplish.
This will potentially give some people a chance to win a few prizes that they could not be able to get also.
That is why I asked members to say whether or not they wanted a shot at the prizes...some people have really nice hardware and do not need the prizes or just simply want a member with lower spec hardware to have a chance

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

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?

Maybe he is in my situation, I can't fit a sound card in, which I already bought, because of the lack of slots on my budget board because I thought I would upgrade but, 2 years later, nothing lol. This Christmas or Black Friday for sure though.

I re-installed f@h already
I just never put the card in and I dont game much anymore

Honestly speaking,im the same way.. 99% of what my card does is fold. I havent played a game in probably close to a month, and the next game i buy will probably be a ps3 game(Gran turismo 5).

Yeah im just holding off the gaming until I get a 5850 in about a month or so
Edit: Anyways got f@h working now on the 8600gt. Just un-installed then, ran ccleaner and deleted the f@h folder in Appdata then, reinstalled gpu client
