Quick GPU Folding question

I am currently folding on one core of my E6600 @ 3GHz and using the other core to feed the GPU client running on my GTX 280. I have a question though. When i upgraded to the 280, i took out my 4 month old 8800GTS G92. Now, my motherboard (Asus P5B Deluxe) has two PCI-E x16 slots, however it doesn't support SLI (only Crossfire) and when Crossfire is enabled it drops the second slot down to 4x speeds.

How will this affect me if i stick the 8800GTS in there? Will it even work? My PSU is powerful enough so im not worried about that. How much data is traveling to the GPU?

Since there is no reason to use the SLI connections it should simply act as a second card. Some motherboards have jumpers to make that work so check your manual first.

Other then that the 4X won't make any difference if folding speed.

Enjoy, and luck;)
