    Do you guys think it's a better deal to use WCG for my CPU threads instead of F@H? Doesn't seem like they are doing a whole lot with F@H CPU these days, mainly using GPU's?

    Building a silent box

    I'm looking to see how quiet and small I can build for WCG crunching, possibly adding a passive GT 730 if that would do anything for f@h as well. Could use some advice. Thinking Mini-ITX, trying to sell the Mrs on using two or more as heaters in our bedroom ;)

    Has anyone tried to run Folding@Home GPU2 clients on these two cards on the same machine? They both have the same Shader Count, same Frequency, RAM speed, etc. The only difference I could tell was that the 9800GT supported OpenGL 2.1, whereas the 8800GT only supports OpenGL 2.0. Any thoughts...

    Xeon 5500 Series

    Anyone know what platform you're going to need to run the new 5500 CPU's? I'm guessing because it uses the new "QPI" interlink instead of FSB, it won't run on any of the current platforms. Does anyone out there know what timeframe the new CPU's will be coming out? And when the motherboards...
