I want to do some GPU, even if it is slow. 4 cores working plus 1 GPU makes 5 WUs crunching instead of 4, even if the GPU is about the same speed as the cores.


Has anyone tried a Radeon HD 5550 1GB card? Newegg.com has a VisionTek for $60 plus shipping. It has 320 streams. The next one on the list for 320 streams is the same price, but it is after a large rebate.
How much memory does the 9500 have? You should be able to run Moo! on it. I would think PG PPS Sieve would also work on it. Are you in the 'video' group? Does boinc tell you that your card is detected? Have you rebooted after installing the cuda driver?

I haven't run a Radeon card on Ubuntu, but I had to do some weird hacks to use mine on Gentoo.

Are you running 64-bit? Some projects might not have a 32-bit linux cuda app.
