I am very happy for you martini161, But do you think it wise to show your address? Hope you get your rigs up and running soon.

That goes for Nate as well.

yes it is

fah mon seems to be reporting around 4-5k ppd, with the gpu and 2cores in a vm folding. the vm is only reporting 700ppd though
pics(i didnt take to many)

finished build

i dont know who came up with putting silica in a moisture resistant bag, but whoever it was deserves some man points

That is a sexy looking card

got any OC on anything? Bump up the the GPU shaders and the CPU FSB a bit and get a second VMware SMP on there and you'll be turning out the points in no time.

unfourtunatly since riva tuner uses a non M$ signed driver i cant oc the graphics card in vista. not going to oc the CPU though, seeing as how bad i know itll do i dont think its worth the efforts. any ideas as to why the vm's only pumping out 750ppd? and its also causing tons of conflicts with my hardware, particularly the bluray drive

glad to hear it's folding. I got my package on Friday... unfortunately, it was the same day I got a virus on my daily driver that I couldn't fix, and had "in laws" in town, so I haven't got a chance to work on it yet. Finishing up a project I got going tonight, so I hope to get my server/folder back up and running, as well as getting the core system pieced together and Folding by sleepy time on Sunday.

Odd. Using Vista Ultimate 64-Bit right now and I have my 8800GTS 512's shaders up from 1825 to 1900 with no problems at all from rivatuner...

Use
EasyBCD to turn off Driver Signing in x64 Vista and reboot. Then try Rivatuner
