I just bought this card to put in a folding rig, and currently have an old Q6600 + socket 775 motherboard laying around that I was planning to use. I believe the motherboard FSB speed is 1066mhz, and the max ram speed is 800mhz. I'm just wondering if this will negatively impact folding...
I just got one of these bad boys for a new Folding@home rig. Apparently they can do close to 100,000ppd. :)

How old is the hardware? I am just getting back into Folding@Home and am looking to build a few cheap machines. Top of the line isn't necessary..as long as the parts work and are newer than 5 years old, they should get some good work done for the project.
Has anyone here tried spreading the "good news" of Folding@Home? I've posted a few basic messages summarizing the effort on some music forums I browse and have gained around 3-4 new full time folders (that I know of). I think if just a fraction of regular folders started making a few mentions of...
Why on earth are the phasing out ANY cards? This doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't they allow all generations to fold? I understand that older-gen cards aren't as efficient as new ones, but they still fold fine, and every point contributed helps the science.
An 8 core CPU and a GPU that does 1.84+ TFLOPS is nothing to sniff at. Multiply it by a few million users and I think it is definitely worth the effort for the F@H team to get it done.
The people working on the folding project considered the PS3 a "game changer" when the Folding@home application was released for the system, and for several years the computational power of PS3 users accounted for the large majority of folding done. So with the significant power boost offered...
A few days ago, Copy.com upped their free storage offer to 15GB (from 7GB).
They don't have a particularly large presence in the mediascape, but they are backed by Barrucuda Networks, which is a large and fairly reputable cloud host.
Apps are available across all major mobile and desktop OS...
VLC player has a nifty feature to speed up movies without changing the pitch, so the voices don't sound like chipmunks despite playing at 120-130% normal speed. I'm looking for any software that will allow me to do this to downloaded videos and save them with the higher playback speed...
