Crunching what?

seti, folding etc , whatever is available.

Well you can fold on both now, Seti I think is less of a faff and probably gives you greater bang for your buck, Folding, although improved with the new clients still gives significantly lower output than Nvidia, and also needs tweaking to not take too much away from the cpu

The following BOINC projects have ATI support if any of them interest you: MilkyWay@home, Collatz Conjecture and PrimeGrid

Milkyway probably your best option - plus it's a better science project than collatz & primegrid

Good stuff, now running milkyway on my 6 processors and collatz on my 3 GPU's, going to have a toasty house, CPU at 62c full load, GPUS at 70-75-82c North Bridge at 76c :eek:

im not sure the heatsink is attached properly on that one, (crosshair formula IV)
