Sounds great Bryan...Yep! I'll upgrade to CAT 10.10 when I get home from Hawaii and get the cards setup
I am actually thinking about getting myself a cheap CUDA card, since PG is one of my all time favourites.....But X-mas is just around the corner and lots to spend money this month.....
Argh....Desicions desicions....

You could just put the card on your wife's hint list for your x-mas present
It seems that even with the temporary credit increase that the other ATI projects still pay better, for nVidia cards this is the motherload until they adjust the credits again. My pair of 275's was getting about 90k a day on GPUGrid, now getting over 300k a day.
I have a 9800GT and it got 50K yesterday. The best I could do before that was 20K at dnetc. A former team mate gave me the card. Of course if your ATI is doing better than that, there's no reason to get one unless you have an open slot somewhere. Maybe it will help some team mates to invest if they find out that one of these cheapos can help them that much. It takes me 57 min to complete a task.
EDIT: It's sad when I can read my own post and have trouble figuring out the relevance and what it is I'm trying to say.

I finally got it to work! I tried installing 10.10, no good. Then I tried removing all the ATI driver stuff, rebooting, then running driver cleaner, then installing 10.10. All FAIL. Maybe because I had two 5870s? No idea. So I did some more reading on the PG forum. Someone suggested 10.11 APP (there are two versions, get the APP one). Ding! Crunching away!
Edit: Some credit comparisons. Numbers are credits/hour:
Win 7 Dual 5870:
DNETC - 24784 (single task uses both GPUs)
PG - 14050 (7025 per card); 57% of DNETC
XP64 single 5870:
DNETC - 13539
PG - 8031; 59% of DNETC
XP46 single 4870
DNETC - 4515
PG - 3172*; 70% of DNETC
*Only one task returned at the time
So it looks like there is less of a loss in credits with the 4870 than with the 5870. But either way, it is a drop compared to DNETC.
Still, this is going to be SWEET for the next challenge!

Has anyone tried running both ATI and CPU tasks? I would like to run othe subprojects on the CPU and PPS Sieve on the GPU. Just wondering if it would work. The only problem would be keeping the app_info up to date every time a cpu app gets updated.
