Well Buddy J, looks like the public has spoken. And I still think expectations are rising by the moment. I'd show them something or else your home may get stormed.
Gotta make sure things are good first. Last night I got Folding running with GPU on one core and the regular F@H client on the second. So far so good. It sits stable at 41C at full load. I'm gonna give it 24 hours to see if it plays nice.
Couldn't find the memory card today to upload pix. I'll have to take some tonight with my other camera.

You must be getting some good results if your saving the actual numbers. Can't wait.
Not yet. The room I'm in is kinda warm and at 100 percent load, one of the cores of the CPU hit 56C. Also, the NB is getting really warm. I'm gonna get an 80mm fan on it and try and figure out how to get the CPU to run a bit cooler. But for now, I'll cautiously say so far so good.

You could angle your cpu heatsink downwards to blow on the Nothbridge heatsink you have.

I can't rotate it. The ReaperX ramsinks are in the way. I've got the side panel off the case right now, so I wedged an 80mm fan in sitting on top of the NB heatsink. It's helped a bit.
I just dropped the CPU voltage down from 1.36350 to 1.3V. It's still stable. I'm gonna fiddle with lowering the voltages. Seems some people can do 4GHz at stock voltage, so that's a good sign.

I am completely unfamiliar with the ATI drivers other than they are called Catalyst. Until very recently, the Nvidia GPU2 required a sizable chunk of a CPU core's power for running. With the newest driver, the GPU itself does nearly 100% of the work - less than 1% load on a CPU core. What is the CPU load required for the ATI GPU client currently? When ATI gets this straightened out eventually, you will be able to run an SMP client on the multi-core CPU and a GPU client for each GPU core.
I updated the Catalyst driver to 8.12 today and it seems GPU2 still uses the core quite heavily. SMP isn't viable here, sadly.

The Catalyst drivers aren't weak, and ATI GPUs definitely hold their own, but due to the architectural differences, Nvidia GPUs at the moment are better suited for the type of calculations required by Folding@Home. Who knows, give it another year and the opposite might be the case.

Not enough? or none? O_O

Unveil man!

I'm getting teary eyed.
Also, still idles at 41C.
Are you running FAHMon? I was wondering what your PPD looks like on a 4GHz dual core.

I'm not, but I'll try it later and see how it goes.

Process Lasso keeping things each on a respective core.
Anyway, congrats!
