The reason for the development of folding on the X1900's was the fact that it was using the shader architecture vs conventional pipeline architecture. The G80 is now using twice or more the Unified programmable shaders. Another reason I think is because of ATI's driver's design of less overhead required, vs nVidia's generally having more. Don't know what nVidia has done about that, but I'd imagine unless some great technological hurdle opposes the G80's new architecture, it has a chance.
This is just conjecture, but I think it is halfway sound, at least.

To answer your question, the amount that F@H will reduce your CPU time by is insignificant. A CPU should last about 10 years + and by then it will be more than OBSOLETE. That's the logic.
The CF progress hasn't been updated yet
Now I am at 16:15 per WU with my graphics card at 580/500
Jan, are you not folding anymore? You've dropped to less than 700 points per week...
Hehe, I am still folding (OF COURSE
). I just seem to have got a very large WU on my main rig as well as my other rigs. Just wait for an explosion in my score Current update:
Date of last work unit 2006-12-03 03:17:00
Active CPUs within 50 days 144
Team Id 44358
Grand Score 505330
Work Unit Count 2744
Team Ranking (incl. aggregate) 810 of 46776

Just testing to see if this version of F@H stats works...
YES!!!
folding.extremeoverclocking.com/sigs/sigimage.php/un=Jet/t=44358/
Use that above string (add http://), and change user to whatever yours is for Folding@Home! More here: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=IMAGES
Is there a way to allow sig images from one site only?
YES!!!

My apologies Jadies and Lentilmen, I've been very busy, and haven't found the hour I need to do the weekly update. I have, however, taken a snapshot of the progress as of Saturday, and will use that in order to not skew the graphs. It should be uploaded by midnight GMT+0 tonight.The CF progress hasn't been updated yet

Not mentioned, surprisingly : we have reached sub 800 rating, and therefore have indvidualized rating systems Yay! Way to go guys!

Hmm
Thought this could be interesting:
http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats
Shows (among other things) how GPU folding is very significant so early after its initial launch.

why dont they support NVidia cards?
Programmable Shaders...the new 8 series Nvidia GPU should eventually get a client if they figure it out/want to make one.
Are you F@H now? If so sweet. If not join up!
