	Hi, My machine has a 6 core AMD Phenom X2 + 16GB or RAM + 2 x ATI 6970 2GB in Crossfire. I notice the tests utilizes all 6 cores to 100% and uses about 10-12 GB of RAM which is great but there is zero activity on my graphic cards. Do I need a plug-in and a add-on to use ATI graphic cards? Does SETI@Home take advantage of ATI GPU? Thanks... Behnam

	There are no native ATI GPU apps. You'll need to use the Lunatics Installer to get apps that work for ATI GPU's ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school

	... and uses about 10-12 GB of RAM No way, every SETI CPU task/app uses only about 30-40 MB of RAM, it just don't need more. ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)
