On site you have "Episode 228:" for 229.

I really like Loyd's tech episodes. I think,he should be a regular on camera on how to tips for gaming and hardware reviews etc. :)

About the Folding@Home segment and running multiple clients.

Running a CPU and GPU client at the same time is no problem. The GPU one does require the CPU's attention to feed it data but it won't run it to 100%. I have a Q6600 2.4Ghz OC'd to 3Ghz and an x1950 Pro. With the GPU alone it uses 50-75% of one core. If you have a faster video card it may use more CPU time but there will be plenty left over for a CPU client, whether you use the SMP one or an instance of the standard client for each core.

By not running the GPU client, I can shave 2 min. per % but adding it more than makes up for the extra time on the CPU side.

The one thing you must do is set the priority of the GPU client to low and the CPU client to idle when you install them. Video cards don't have a concept of priority like a CPU does, but the program running on the CPU that feeds it with data does. If you don't, the GPU will spend most of it's time waiting for data with nothing better to do than refresh it's DRAM.

When are we going to get a test drive of the Hardy Heron conducted by the hardy Heron?

I saw on friends computer the beta using KDE 4 as well as the eye candy turned on and if youre into that kind of visual stimulation then you are going to love this.
The two proprietary OS have nothing on some fully loaded Linux when it comes to this stuff.

I"m not sure if its officialy the case but did anyone notice on http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=57391 that dl.tv's contributions droped dead on the day of last weeks episode. Must'a been the fact of them advertising smp clients. Those things are slow but hopefully they provide in the long run.
