Hi guys am new to Folding but have always been interested in doing such a thing iv downloaded FAH GPU Tracker V2 im just using my CPU as my GPU doesn't seem to like it and just goes crazy, Inputted my username and my team as 10. Is that all i need to do? Currently running project how long do they take approx per project and on a cpu what should i expect for PPD? i know its low but i want to see some results for the power usage and know im helping something.

Well im not GPU Folding as i can't. Iv only got a 9500GT in this system and for some reason it won't allow it or work properly so ill have to look into another card. Ill uninstall GPU tracker and get the other once its finished this unit then. Thankyou

Will a 6850/6870 or something like a 560Ti work well? I might treat myself to a new card and i can use this as yet another reason to justify it
