A pleasant side-effect...
I use this computer for three non-Seti functions:
recording HD video, running VMware workstation,
and playing HD video. I only use the Nvidia card 
for playing HD video, otherwise I use the built-in
ATI graphics adapter with a smaller monitor. It 
happens that the ArcSoft video capture program
locks up if I start it with the CPU Seti running, 
I have to suspend it first. Video capture co-exists 
very well with the GPU Seti, however. 

It would do you well to suspend Seti if you intend to
do anything that uses the graphics card. I've had to
three-finger-crash my system a few times before I learned.
