I have a 6870 as my main GPU. I also have a spare 9800GT I plan on toying with for PhysX. How can I make it (the 9800GT) a dedicated folding card?

It should work to run the GPU client, but add the -gpu 1 flag instead of -gpu 0

well 2 years was my first and I only had something like 4k ppd total before then I think, so even with that extra now, it would actually only be 20-30 ppd or something, not a few hundred

I won't be folding for a while, just to let you all know. The machines at my friends house have been exhibiting issues, such as burning smells, and I can't afford to keep them running where I live now.
If I could, I would continue with this project, but right now it's just not possible for me.
I think I contributed a fair amount, so I don't think I slacked when I was folding.
I will be removing the status and link from my sig for the time being. It was fun, guys, it was fun.

Did you not get your prize? I got my sound card a few weeks ago.

Yea--I've been really bad at it. Before I was working full time, dropping off at the post office just meant hopping out sometime during the day and dropping it off--now that I work when the post office is open, I've been having a hard time finding a time to do it. I got voyager's out because I was home on break...I thought I had the fan with me, then I couldn't find it in the car.
It would be simpler for me to send you some cash through paypal--if that would work, you could pick up the fan online somewhere or else get something else.

6 months since the last folding marathon... anyone else feel like we need one, maybe even make it a biannual thing 
Don't want it to be like the November 09 - February 11 think, where it was over a year. Annual I can understand, but that is too long without raising participation

Haven't had the machines and the wifi cards to do so for about a year.
Been making sure my machine is stable before I start folding again. I'm gonna start up another marathon after the semester ends.

i relish having a cheap electric bill....maybe at one point during the winter when i have my own place ill pull some multi gpu machines out and do some folding...otherwise i dont see a point. was impressive tho running dual 9800GTX+ cards along with a machine with a single 9600GT, i was putting out more ppd than guys with a single much more powerful card and cpu....gpu computing is where you get the job done.
I miss having an nVidia card for that reason. I can't get it to run on my 6870.

I had weird issues with work units at times...but yea, for the most time it worked, tho i ran into stability issues at the time, and turns out it was my motherboard fouling up my cpu, and causing ram errors....was my luck which is why i dont run overclocked ram now...just nothing but headaches
