greeting all! welcome to the folding team!
michaelcollins , run all the - the 2 gpus and the cpu.  Best to turn off SLI if you are just going the run the system for folding only.
Your CPU can't do BIGADV units, just run the - smp.
Once you have completed 10 smp units on time, you are eligable for bonus points, and you can watch your numbers really start to fly!
If you have any questions, have a look through  the guides section, and if you can't find what you are looking for, post a thread and there are many people here who will help you out!

Thank you for the info....  Does my Folding name have to match my Log in name?  I just started the folding process on Friday.  How long does it take to see points?  On the Forum Sig, not sure what to do.  I went to the link Xavier psoted but after typing in my name...nothing.
Is where something I did not do?  Thanks for the help.

yes it does.. login = folding name
there are some slight exceptions for blanks spaces and underscores
because folding names use underscores for blanks between first name and last 
 
EOC updates every 3 hrs ...so it won't show up until after you complete a job (wu) and the next update 
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=111065
or here
http://www.hardfolding.com/fh_stats/index.php?pz=101&tnum=111065
 
for the sig to show up you have to have points first
that means you have to get it after EOC shows some stats for you
or after stanford has points for you

Thanks,  I changed my folding name to my EVGA log in name.  Do I lose the folding points from yesterday?  I will try the Sig link later today.  Thank you for your time...again.

Can you use more than one computer to fold?  Are notebook effective in folding?  Thanks.

yes you can....depends on what you want to do
you can fold under one name or different names or different teams
if you fold under the the same name, use a passkey
as you can see I fold for two teams and I have multiple computers set up to fold under my name (even for one team)
 
laptop don't do well for folding. it generates lots of heat and draws lots of power (not usually good for laptops)
yes you can fold on them , but they usually won't put up the numbers a good desktop system can
 
lappies usually don't have a good discrete GPU and usually a low end processor (just SMP)
 
depends on your laptop specs
others like madrias fold on lappies...they should be able to fill you in more there
