YAY!!!
A number of us F@H die-hards will welcome the boost.
I have been trying to drum-up support (in the past couple of months) to get KWSN back into the top 100 teams again.
It's always easier to fall down the hill than it is to climb back up.
FYI - I have had my personal best F@H month (Aug 2012) of nearly 3.5 million points.
Trying to get back into the top 100 is achievable, but it won't be easy - and there's some rather tough competitors out there!
Thanks to all the Knights who have been contributing to F@H recently - at least we're no longer plummeting in a downward spiral.
We're actually moving back up - albeit slowly.
With PoTM, maybe we can propel our team back into its rightful place of prestige as one of the oldest & most venerable teams at F@H.
Special thanks to Sir Antigens for really giving me some competition (PPD) over these past few months!

NVidia GPUs http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-NVIDIA-GPU3
ATI/Radeon GPUs http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-NVIDIA-GPU3
The F@H client (V7) is quite easy to install on Win7 platforms.
Choosing the 'express' or 'default' set-up will detect all relevant hardware and start those up (including CPU/SMP).
Choosing the 'custom' set-up allows you to choose which hardware to use (or not), but the set-up can be a little more tedious.
Some Knights prefer using http://fahtracker.com/
Just a reminder - make sure you have adequate cooling!
F@H (as well as other projects) will put a significant load (-->heat) on the GPUs.
Good luck - "and thank you for your support"

I still can't get work for the ATI clients. They seem to be functioning but all I ever get is "No appropriate work server is available".
GTX570 is shrubbing well. _________________

V7 clients with a 5770 and two 5870's. (separate shrubbers)
If anyone has it working let me know which options you're using. (small/ large, advanced, etc.)
