Folding@home with WHS
 

Does any know if its possible/safe to run a GPU folding@home on a WHS? I am thinking about selling off my second rig to help pay for a couple of new Fermi's (whenever they are finally ready) and sticking my 9800GX2 in my WHS to folding with. Any thoughts?

whs....hmm....tries to remember what that is....something home server?

oh sorry...Windows Home Server (32 bit)

Yeah I was running my overclocked 9800 Gx2 on my WHS. Sadly, my POS PSU crapped on me :) I was asking for it running it on an antec earthwatt.....

So has long has you have a good enough psu, go for it :punk:

Ps. Whs works on xp Nvidia drivers...

possible? if the install goes tru why not? safe? as long as the hardware to support the card is there, no worries.

at least it did not take my backups !

don't run anything but WHS and tested plug-ins on your WHS. It can cause your boot drive to think it's faulty and the only way to fix it is a reformat.

Trust me. I've done it like 3x before I found out about the bug.

I was running the DivX connected server and F@H at the time.

I run F@H cpu on my WHS. It's terrible because it's only 32 bit (with a dual core cpu.. :blarg:)
I never tried installing a GPU client and putting a video card in - I figured it would break when you tried to load other drivers.

Thanks:thumb: Thats exactly what I was worried about.
