@ Semper - That is the same mobo I was just looking at on newegg. I've come to realize it would be pretty pointless to build a cheap single GPU rig for folding when I could get a mobo with x4 PCI-E slots and in the future all I would have to do is throw another card in there.
At the moment this is all up in the air as I'm really tight on money so I couldn't buy anything else anyways... but I'm thinking about going with an x4 board and then just buying 8800GS to fill'er in.
Though my concern is I wouldn't be able to run XP with it since the GPU2 client takes a lot more processing power to run than Vista does. That would be overload on a dual-core I would think. I know my X2 has 1 core at 100% all the time for GPU2.
