Folding FTW

Check here for how to set up both of your cards to fold, then only run the 9800GTX+.

That's where my old 8800gts 320 is. I made a ghetto HTPC for the back bedroom and threw my old card in there. BTW, I just sold me 9800 GTX+ on craigslist for $75.00 in less than 4 hours.

Tis seems like a good idea, I still got an old E2200 and Asus P5N-D MOBO somewhere. Still need a case and PSU though.

Does anybody have an advice what I should do with this card as selling it for 60 euro's seems pretty bad.

Mmmm, do want. I wonder how much shipping to the States alone would cost

Edit: @Demented doesn't that require two systems, or could I fold only on the 9800GTX+?
Nope, you can fold on your 9800GTX+ 24/7 without the client ever touching your GTX 295 (meaning you can game, etc, do anything and performance won't be affected). Just make sure that you use the "gpu 1" flag when running F@H; a guide on doing this correctly can be found at Stanford's site.

HTPC. Especialy if you have the parts, you could get a 500GB hdd, PSU, and HDD for about $150.

Cheep half decent HTPC .

Or build a gaming PC. IE
