Hi Chilean.

I copied this from Gigabyte and Asus websites, i think that Asus describe's what it does better.

If it makes any sent's, i think all motherboard makers do the same sort of thing these days.

The problem is that for the gpu cards there is not currently a disease curing project yet.

Well, maybe not on BONIC but there is Folding at Home. I'm running Rosetta on CPUs and FAH on GPUs.
