ok so last time i asked about if my current systems would support gpu cards but since its a 2x agp i cant do that,

so im upgrading my p3's monther boards to support 4x/8x so that i can over time my new video cards for each.

yeah I would highly recommend AGP 4x if you're going to be doing GPU folding with an AGP card.

A P3 will be able to handle the load of the card. Hell, I'm thinking about slapping a x1900PRO AGP in a dual celly 333@550.

I wouldn't recommend running a client on a P3 that's handling the GPU folding unless you have it set to low prioity and around 25% CPU time requested (To be on the safe side... dont wanna choke that GPU)
