9600 GSO for $99, then $89 with a $10 MIR. Looks like it might only be on for today (Labor Day) though.

Also the 8800GS XXX that I bought 4 of is on sale for $85... these will produce a solid 4500 PPD in Fahmon, and about 4200 PPD actual result. These might be the best bang for the buck out there. GET ON IT if youre in the market for new new cards for folding! Looks like this is also a Labor Day Only sale.

I'd be tempted to jump on one of those, but I have a minor car repair coming up in the near future (bad tensioner causing my serpentine belt to slowly grind away). So that'll take my remains of spare cash I might have had.

**[486]** · 09-01-2008, 06:12 PM

Replacing a belt tensioner is generally easy, you should be able to get the parts at napa, or something for under $50.

**Sparky** · 09-01-2008, 06:15 PM

Yeah I know it isn't hard to do, but the part is going to soak up the little bit of spare cash I had. Oh well.

I was looking and looking but I can't find where someone said what the best drivers were for GPU folding. And is CUDA included with the drivers or is it a separate download? I can't find this info for the life of me

**[XC] 4X4N** · 09-01-2008, 06:29 PM

I'm using the 177.84, they're the latest and seem fine. No point difference for me. Just go to the cuda page and select your OS. Link is here http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

**[486]** · 09-02-2008, 12:32 PM

I tried new drivers when I started gpu2, [I think it just came out] and had to use old drivers to get it to work.

**Sparky** · 09-02-2008, 01:07 PM

Well I'm using the newest drivers and I think it is doing just fine....

Hey guys if you need a cheap case with good cable management and air flow for a dedicated folder, may I recommend the Antec 300. You can't beat this for $40! I used thid for my last build.

Outstanding!!!

I'm mad at MSI. I bought 4 8800GTS' filled out all the rebate info and they wouldn't even refund $30.

Since then I've been buying all Wvvga which makes me nervous since all their retutns are 30 day limited.
