New to folding- Windows 7
I wanna start folding, however, i see nothing about windows 7 and 5800 series graphics cards. Anyone want to help set me up with the right download links and some basic pointers? Help will be rewarded in the form of a couple more PPD for team 37726

Just install the GPU client and run it. The 5870 is little more then two 4870 on the same die in a lot of ways.

The system tray and console clients are CPU folding clients. However, a far more efficient CPU folding method is using a VMware. Follow this guide to get it set up (not as hard as it sounds, don't worry
 ):http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=599272 The GPU2 client posted above is enough for your GPU, which should get around 4-4.5k PPD. To monitor it properly, download and install Fahmon: http://fahmon.net/ And since it hasn't been posted yet, Windows 7 runs all folding applications the same as Vista, so if you need anything else, just assume that's what you're using. Good luck getting it setup, and come back if you need any more help

I would recomend running the console version, as it yields some more ppd!
