Is there a chance to use our Radeons 5XXX for rosetta@home or other BOINC projects ? I there is, because I like BOINC and don't want to go to folding@home :(

At this moment there are a couple of projects which support ATI GPUs.
These are Milkyway, Collatz and DNETC. Milkyway requires that the GPU can do double precision floating point math, which as far as I know only the 58xx's can do (memory bus speed 256bit).

At Seti@Home the optimizing crew of Lunatics is testing a ATI-CPU hybrid app that runs Astropulse. It'll run partially on the GPU, but still mostly on the CPU.
