ouch.. what kind of 9400.... that doesn't sound right but then again, i'm a gtx 260 person.

ram..

you may want to have that thing run seti@home instead of gpugrid because some other computer may do the same wu and send it back before yous gets a chance to finish it up leaving you with 0 credit.

Let's see: you need 342000s for a WU worth 3843.3 credits using 16 shaders at 1.4 GHz. My machine needs 36000s for such one, using 128 shaders at 1.94 GHz. If I extrapolate my performance to your hardware I'd get 400000s, so I'd say your time is OK for such a card.

However, at least 50 shaders are officially recommended to run GPU-Grid. Your host finished one WU within 12 days, so it's not running 24/7. If you can't make it before the 5 days deadline you likely won't get any credit (and your result won't be worth anything). So feel free to consider seti, folding@home or any other project which might come up with a CUDA app soon (maybe Milkyway).

Nope.
If you start it then you'll get credit for it. No started task will cancel with redundant result.

Thanks My Friends

I will use Folding@home on my slow performance computer (Nvidia 9400)
and I use Gpugrid on my Nvidia 9800...
