For those of you with AMD GPU's run the beta flag, core17 seems to be working on AMD.

Just a few recommendation for AMD folders:
I recommend Catalyst 13.1 (unmodified) for the HD 5000/6000 series (lower CPU usage than older versions).
The HD 7000 series I recommend Catalyst 13.2 beta (higher GPU usage) (HD 5000/6000 series have a higher CPU usage bug it seems).

Well, depending on work unit it varies.
SMP 70-90K
Bigadv 120-188K

I took out 8 sticks of ram out of my #1 Folder and dropped about 45 watts in power draw. :D
I figure a small SSD will save me roughly another 10 watts over my platter drive.

Can it be that some projects just don't give as much PPD as others? Sometimes I get 16-20K PPD a day with my i7, sometimes (like now) only 2,6K...
My hd7950 gives 8K, is this good?
