Ok, so a dumb question here... I have a 8800 GTS, but it is on a w2k machine. Can I participate in cuda?

I think we are still trying to work that out.Originally Posted by Jerod Vandehey
After all this is still Beta.
You should try it out if you like but it seems there may be a couple of issues yet.

There are a few CUDA projects you can participate in.
Folding at home...works fine
RC5 (distributed.net)...Beta clients, and some growing pains with this last client.
Seti....Beta also I think.
GPUgrid (Boinc)...I don't think your card will run this. They are Beta also.

There in lies the truth.
these are still very early days.
I guess you could put it this way, "If my Graphics card suddenly went dead how bad would that be for me?"
If you are using an older card that you just have around as a spare then you may feel that it is an acceptable risk.
On the other hand, if it is the only graphics card you have on your workstation (main machine) and the mobo does not have an on-board GPU for backup, then you would be up the proverbial creek until you got a replacement.
It is up to you to decide what level of risk is acceptable to you.
