The only thing I have heard is that the drivers don't play so nice together.

I read that you can't but I didn't dive too far into the reading...I'd probably say no considering I can't get my GSO to fold with my 285's..

I think there have been a couple of threads about this over the past year. I spent a couple of weeks trying to get my 4850 and a 9600 GSO folding on the same rig. I had absolutely no luck and tried a couple of different card configs. Good luck if you can get it working and please share the steps you took.

Doesn't Win 7 solve this problem?

okay, so i just played GRiD at highest possible settings (ultra, max MSAA) crash free, and consistent 45FPS throughout 24H of LeMans(didnt drop below 44, instead of SLI'd 9600GSO's which go between 17-55), just gotta figure out the F@H problem now

got one full unit to complete, then the sceond unit got unstable_machine before 1% completed, not sure what to do here

as it stands, the GSO is folding properly, the 4670 games properly, but the gso can't fold while the 4670 games which is annoying knowing they arent linked, now to get the other gso to not overheat in the dell
