GPU and CPU folding

I was wondering if you have one of the ATI cards for folding AND you fold on both cores of a dual core cpu, will it slow the GPU folding down? I am thinking to the future about getting one of the ATI cards for this dual cpu machine - I will get a different motherboard also, but was curious if the GP...

I had problems with an ECS board and the 4 in 1 drivers too - I had to use an older version for it to work - go figure.

Glad it worked out for you

nice link! This is the most important part.. OEM software is also tied to the motherboard it is first installed on. Unlike the retail versions of Windows which can be transferred to a new computer, OEM versions are not transferable. What about upgrading hardware? Microsoft says that anything is fair...

Problem is that CompactFlash is only - what - 8gb or 12gb max right now, so you will never hit the 160gb :) Now if they made a stackable convertor and in SATA, that would be REAL nice!!

try changing the extension to .xls - just for giggles. Sometimes I swap extensions and all of a sudden a program can view it.

I am lost at this point, other than to have the original sender send you another file using the 2003 extensions :(

uninstall your audio drivers and reinstall them If you got the drivers from windows update - go back to the manufacturers website and download them from there!! Then do NOT install the windows update ones. Windows update sends wrong audio updates out for a bunch of onboard audio from my experiences!...
