Cheap folding card?
Anybody got any thoughts on a cheap folding card.....my quick search seems to imply 9600 GSO. Any ideas would be welcome
Re: Cheap folding card?

Re: Cheap folding card?
I have a 250 while I am waiting for my 280's to be RMA. I think it is a very good folder for the money and doesn't use a lot of power. Look at the difference between the 9600gso and the 250 here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productco ... 6814130509 I think the extra money is worth it.

i thought the 250 was a relaunched 9800 ?

I've got a piddly Asus 4650 in the mix, does 3 or 4 work units a day. Not sure what its pulling in the way of ppd but it was 50 bucks or so and works for the PC I shoved it in. Needed a low profile card that didn't require a 6 pin power.

Re: Cheap folding card?
Wrong GSO...the 512 and 1 gig modles only have 48 proccessors...the 384 and 768 modles have 96...big difference in folding@home. I have read the 384 is good for 3K-4K per day.vbironchef wrote:I have a 250 while I am waiting for my 280's to be RMA. I think it is a very good folder for the money and doesn't use a lot of power.

Re: Cheap folding card?
The reason I started this tread was because I have 2 comps at work that fun 24/7...I think they both have PCI-E slots. Was thinking about tossing a card in them, but for economic reasons the need to be cheap.

Re: Cheap folding card?
250=6001ppd average.
Re: Cheap folding card?
I picked up a couple of second hand 8800GS's for the folding war, which are essentially 9600GSO's. The points for the price is about the best ratio you can get at the minute.
