Amazing. It is about the same cost to buy this rebuilt unit as it is to get a legal copy of Vista Premium. I seldom build systems anymore just for this reason.
It is an older machine, but with the NVidia card that you added it will fly just fine for FReeping and for folding.
Concerning Chinese built computers, ummm ... don't look now, but nearly everything has its origin on the mainland.

I need another folder. A that price, I caved. It was this or buy a 9800GTX dual GPU/single card...$350.00 and up.
It is a return that was upgraded, though, my neighbor’s is anyway, and it does perform nicely.
BTW, the new nVidia driver and software package I posted about now includes 6xxx and 7xxx with CUDA, so F@H will run on them now.

Lenovo computers are not just Chinese built, the company is owned outright by the Red Chinese government.
