Well, no matter the points per day, every little bit helps. I'm not a dedicated enough folder to buy components just for their folding ability. If I was, I would have bought a GTX580. I buy my components for other reasons, and then put them to work folding. They fold what they fold, and that is all.
It's a very simple thing for you to just download the V7 client, install it, and not worry about it ever again. It'll fold in the background, and you'll be making a contribution. Oh ya, and your power bill will go up a bit
BTW Perry, I see you passed me in our friendly little competition. I stopped folding on HPCS a couple of weeks ago, and have just been working with my home machine.
