thank you man! still not gpu folding at full potential because of the win 8 driver thing mentioned earlier, but one benefit of the gpu not being maxed out during folding is that i can still watch my movies and shows smoothly vs video not playing vary smoothly when the gpu is under 100% load so that means I can keep folding running a larger amount of the time in the background.
I am currently writing a large project log update right now which is show my new memory among other things. I am very pleased with it.

Folding on Windows 8 Update
So far no updates about Folding on Windows 8. The latest Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11 and all the latest Windows updates, as well as the latest Folding @ Home Client, and still the same 50% GPU Utilization.
I have been having a little bit of fun playing around with a fresh installation of Windows 7 solely for Folding. I've also set it up to look like Windows 98/2000, mainly just for a bit of fun since I have a nostalgic feeling for that aesthetic and I've always hated the look of Windows 7. I doubt it will help performance in any substantial way, but it's not going to hurt either.
The GPU usage is just fine with my hardware on Windows 7, here is a screenshot from my Windows 7 install:
