The trash can, because it won't do anything anyways.

AFAIK, GPU folding is not supported in Mac OS X at this time, though I think it may in the future. I think there's a feature request ticket out there for the V7 to mention that, but from what I've read it will set itself up fine, but be unable to get any work from the servers. See the client will connect to the F@h servers and request work. The servers will then look around and see what they have that supports that OS and the hardware. It seems that right now the servers will be unable to send you WUs for your GPU. That's not V7's fault, and I don't think there's much you can do about it. Just fold on with your CPU!
F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.
