from what I have read they don't have the beta client working for 64 bit OS. Is that right? I want to get my 8800 folding :)

Quote32-bit Windows operating system, XP or newer (better Vista support coming soon); 64-bit Windows operating systems appear to currently be incompatible (We're working on this too.)

I tried the GPU2 client on my non-overclocked 8800GT.

It complained about my machine being unstable and didn't do diddly. I'm going to smack it with a shovel if some driver fiddling doesn't work.

You need to get the proper drivers if you haven't already got them (version 177.35 I believe)

Changes:

6.12 Beta 7...
  • Fixed nVidia FX/NVS detection
6.12 Beta 8...
  • Support cpu affinity by default, this is related to an nVidia problem and awaits core-side changes.
  • Fix saving of proxy settings.
  • Add additional parameters field in advanced preferences - no more shortcut editing!!!
  • UNSTABLE_MACHINE count reset after a correctly finished WU, for long-running systems
  • Open configuration dialog box when invalid settings detected
  • Changes to advanced configuration panel
This will NOT fix problems related to cores of course, like the viewer problems, nVidia desktop lag/lockups, etc.

Installation notes: You must uninstall the previous version before installing this version.
-b

Enjoy...
