The ATI 2400, 2600 and 2900 series of videos cards are not running F@H yet due to driver problems.

It is expected that the drivers will be fixed by the end of the year. Until then we can rest knowing the the release of Catalyst 7.8 increased the speed of the ATI cards by 50% running under Vista. We expect very nice folding times from the cards when they are released.

Optimization is a key word at Stanford, as we have seen with the PS3. The GPU kernal will be upgraded to add the cards when testing is complete to ensure quality folding.
