I recently upgraded video cards and found the stable NVidia GPU 6.41 client. Few problems getting it instaqlled and running, and my point production has increased by 3,000 ppd.

This new GPU folder also works on my NVidia Quadro chipset n my laptop, adding another 2,000 ppd.

If you have never folded please ping me and I will help get you started.

We can now fol on CPU, GPU and PS3 stations, in Win XP/V/7, Linux, OS 10.x and Sony OS.

While keeping score is fun, finding a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and other diseases is why we do it.

We used to be able to open a GUI window to watch the folding - is that still available?

I’m currently running an older client from an older system.
My PPD is rather low and should be much higher.

Which newer FAH client would work best for my system?
Any suggestions (and links) would be appreciated.
