ok so i figured since i got a pci hd5450 that it would fold just fine and i got one to test befor filling up this old pc wiht only pci slots and it just keeps downloading work units and saying bad work unit after a while then downloads a new one. do i need to configure it diffrently since its a pci and not pcie? or does the pci bus just not have the bandwidth to handle forlding (i doubt this to be an issue but stranger things could happen). any thoughts let me know. i want to repurpuse these old p4 systems and figured putting these in it and fodling on them would be good idea. no wont fold on the cpu since its just single thread and those wu's are going or gone already.

I never knew there was such a thing as a pci HD5000 series card. In fact, I don't believe there is.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently such a thing does exist. I have no idea what your problem might be. Is it in a PCI slot or an AGP slot?

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Maybe it simply cannot do OpenCL. I have no idea.

Gt 610's only get about 2k ppd, dont bother with that low end of hardware. what computer specs are you putting this in?
