Welcome back, net :)

You can now fold on ATI or NVIDIA cards.

The SMP client is better.

PS3 is still pretty good PPD.

Look here for some recent news on papers published.

cool.

two questions.

1. Will my GeForce 8600 GT fold faster then my AMD 4000+
2. Will this wear out my video card since it is constantly running.

I've been away from DC for quite a while too. Got more interested in my girlfriend and didn't even notice when the machines stopped running their last project until the PC errored out with other related issues. :eek:

Bad NWM *whacks him with Rays cane* ;)

So are you crunching SETI again or something else? (actually I thought you had started crunching again a few months back??).

Welcome back :), from my short time in F@H it seems that benchmarks are fairly thin on the ground. However you can checkout my F@H GPU benchmark chart thread, although it doesn't cover your card but the GTS version.
Re question 1, don't know ,suck it & see along with Fahmon ;)
2. Well I guess the fan will wear out quicker as its (probably) spinning faster to keep temps down. As for the card itself I asked a similiar question about a year ago for folding on my X1950 Pro, I don't recall any reports of early deaths from F@H!.
