I have an old Sony VAIO VPCZ 2290X, a notebook that payed itself tenfold since I bought it in 2011. It is a core i7-2640M with 8GB of RAM running windows 10. It still feels pretty fast with a dual SSD @ RAID0.
Buuuuut... It has an external ATI Radeon detected by Folding @ Home as a Whistler XT (Radeon HD 6770M Series).
My father uses this notebook on a daily basis as his PC (without the external GPU - was not being used since 2014 and I kept it in a drawer). When I started folding, I thought it might give some extra processing power (in fact< I was amazed it still works), but this GPU never gets anything. I started thinking that it might be too old for the task.
Logs are bellow.
My question: will it eventually get WUs or is it a waste of time (and energy) keeping it connected to the notebook?
Thanks in advance!
