Hi guys.
How do I join auqa@home with TAS ??
When I go to "Attatch to Project":
It asks "new user" or "existing user"
email, etc, etc.
Also, I am in the market for a new PCIE video card for gaming, should I go ATI or NVIDIA
I want to crunch on the video card.
Thanks.

You join by creating your own account:
1. If you have not done it before,
get BOINC from here.
2. When installing the BOINC manager opens a window to allow you to attach to a project.
3. You will see a list of projects, choose Aqua@home.
4. Onthe next page choose new user if you haven't crunched Aqua before.
5. Enter a e-mail addy, and a password (your choice, just do not forget them), these are your log-in credentials.
6. The BOINC manager will start downloading the workunits and crunching application.
7. Open the browser of your choice and go the Aqua's site (most simple way: click on the Aqua@home button in the BOINC manager)
8. Click on Yor Account and log-in using your e-mail addy and password.
Now you may want to join the team ...
9 Click on the "find team" link and follow the instructions ... do not forget the last step: click on the "join" link ...
If you already have BOINC installed choose "Tools" and then "Attach to project". From there it is the same procedure as from step 3 above ...
I hope this is clear enough. If not, please post and we will try to help.
About the PCI-e card: if you want to crunch Folding@home or seti@home (which also can use a video-card) you may want to get a NVIDIA-card because it is - AFAIK - much more effective. With ATI you can crunch Folding@home, but not seti@home.
