So I'll just set both my SR-2 boxes to the side and just have them run folding@home. Then pick up a Sandy Bridge system for a 24/7 machine. Quite the expensive fix, but it should be fun.
I see, yeah some SW still has a 16C-limit. Usually, the limitations is in DirectX 9.0, and in case you can fix it by modifying the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D in registry. Here is a good guide from Microsoft. There goes the SB fun, LOL.
