Newbie Tech WCG Questions

Hello, I recently joined WCG on February 19th. I have a few technical questions. The pc runnig BIOINC is my only machine that I built last year as a gaming rig. Because of my work schedule. it sits idle most of the time. I allow BIOINC to run 24/7, and I am participating in all of the projects. Under the activity tab, I have run GPU always checked, and BIOINC manager detected both video cards. I don't have any restrictions set in preferences. I assumed that BIOINC would use the GPU's to assist with the calculations. However, when I check GPU activity in Catalyst Control Center or AIDA 64, they show my GPU activity as zero. Why doesn't BIONIC use the GPU's, and if it did what does it use them for?

Tech info: intel i720, oc 3.485ghz (205*17) 12gb ddr1600 ram, 2 -750gb hd raid 0, 2 - ATI 5870 crossfire. Air cooling. Because I have BIOINC running 24/7 I had to reduce the oc from 205*19 to keep the cpu temps below 70*C.

Also, where do you get the "black" banner for your sig that shows all your stats?

thanks
