The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):
* Folding@home
* Catalyst Beta 6.10 Display Driver
* Radeon® X1950 series
* Radeon® X1900 series
* Windows XP Professional
* Windows XP Home Edition
Folding@Home is a project developed by Stanford University that uses the power of your graphics processor to simulate protein folding. With a thorough understanding of how protiens fold, the scientific community will better understand the causes for many diseases and cancers - the first steps required for finding the cure.
You must download and install Catalyst Beta 6.10 to run the GPU accelerated Folding@Home client on your PC.

Known Bugs
* The GUI pause core command doesn't work
* The GUI Client will automatically quit when running fullscreen directx apps (games), it may be a little slow at doing this though
* In some rare situations, one needs to set the Hardware acceleration to max if the Catalyst install didn't do this. To do this, go into the Display properties/Settings/Advanced/TroubleShoot tab and double check that the Hardware acceleration was set to "Max".
Known compatibility issues
* One must use specific Catalyst drivers (6.5 or 6.10) and a recent DX version-- see the HOW TO above
* The GPU core does not run under WINE in linux (nor do we have plans to support WINE)
Trouble shooting EUE's
* Some Alpha testers have found an excessive number of Early Unit End's (EUE's) -- we have not reproduced that at Stanford or ATI and we need help from beta testers to help track this down. If you see many EUE's (i.e. more than 20%), please make a post in the GPU section of the forum with your system configuration (ATI driver version, DX version, OS) and hardware (card, CPU, motherboard type). With the help of beta testers, we hope to nail down what's going on.
* If you are seeing lots of EUE's, please download the ATItool application and check that your core voltage is set to 1.4V. This has been shown to lead to problems.
