Its not that Pande Group is too lazy to do it, its that Nvidia hasn't been much help working with Pande Group getting the incompatibilities of there software to work right with the F@H software. VJ himself said this, and also even with the current 8800 series, it still is slower, by a great margin than the current x1950 series.

So for now, your out of luck.

With Nvidia bogged down in driver hell with Windows Vista, it may not be on their radar right now. I know Vjay has posted that the 8800 series will be added to the list of folding GPUs as soon as the bugs are worked out.

the G80 has the option to use cuda it is a language the resemble C
so i think the programming of the G80 should be easier.
