Posted 10 Jun 2013 by chuckbens 		I have no idea how to do either one! I can create the config file with a text editor. Is that the only entry I will need?

I know I am using a couple of older drivers, but I have had problems with newer ones on the GTX275. I read somewhere that the older driver was probably needed for the 84000 GS card as well.

I don't know what the drive sweeper is...

I'd appreciate any help getting me pointed in the right direction.

Is it even worht it to try and run both older GPU's?!?!

Thanks,
ChuckBens

Posted 9 Jun 2013 by chuckbens 		I have a dedicated cruncher that has been running a GTX275 for months. I just picked up an 8400GS for nothing. However, when I added it to the PC it is not being used. I read some other posts about rolling back the driver to 301.42 so I did that. Any other ideas? I have never had to tweak anything serious before... Here is my log file.

Posted 26 Jun 2012 by chuckbens 		Here is a link to an article regarding building a 2 GPU machine. I figured it would cost about $850 or so to build depending on what you already have laying around. However, I figured it would cost about $51 a month to run it non-stop as well!

Good luck!
