True. but it "should" work on Fermi chipsets or later, and it doesn't
for me. I may well have a configuration problem, but I drew the line
at butchering my system configuration to find out, this is my personal
workstation, at home, and I don't wanna break it.
(it tries, and tries, and tries to fold but takes some error or other,
backs off, tries again, and again, and again.)
