    Ok weird question that I think I know the answer to already.

    I have 4 PCIe slots... Could I install the other 2 cards I have (Currently running 2 5870 in crossfire and could add 2 8800s non linked.) Would it work?

    I have no idea, but i know that you can run 2 different cards, so i would think so, but you may be limited to 4x speeds

    Power may be an issue - those cards will each draw potentially 250w+ EACH - if you're going to be maxxing all 4 out.... ouch.... If you're only going to max out a pair at a time (I'm assuming you game OR fold, not both at the same time) you'll probably get away with a 800w but don't quote me on that, or send me the bill if I'm wrong...

    Technically, yeah, that would work fine. You might not be able to SLI the 8800's, but you wouldn't want to anyways. The only problem I can see, as slave pointed out, is that the power might be a problem. According to this calculator, your core system should need ~217W max, your 5870's should need ~223W max, and your 8800's should need ~153W (iirc they're 1GB 8800GT's, yes? worst case, with 8800 Ultra's, they would need ~280W max). So, according to that, you would need a ~600-750W PSU, so I think your 800W should be fine. Worst case, it won't be able to push everything and it'll hang.

    I have a second 800w or 1000w or 750w PSU I can hook up. They are both EVGA 8800 GTS 512mb though. Should still pull some PPD.

    Well I just completed my first work unit but can not see how many points it added. I am running just the ATI client though. Going to install the tracker later tonight.

    We're at 6212 right now - and it's past my bedtime - I'll leave my machine running CPU on a Q6700, GPU2 on a 4870 and GPU3 on a GTS250 - that's all I can do for now - I'm betting damned good money we'll be well inside the 6000 ranking by the time I climb out of bed cursing the sun for being up too early in about 6 hours....

    Night all

    setting up my i7 950 rig with the 2 6870's.
    possibly my corei3 with my 5870, as well.
    might find some other old parts that would do well as well. you never know....

    Cale, download the FAH tracker (a few posts back) and set it to the ATi R800, it's working perfectly with my 6870
