haha. Yeah, if you've got $1,500 - $2,000, sure, go for it.
Around ~7900 PPD. It takes roughly 90 minutes per WU @ 480 points per WU.

maybe if they update the clients, they strongly favor nvidia over ati

Okay guys,
So I have a I have a server with dual P3 processors both running at 1Ghz and 1Gb of RAM.
Do you think it would be worth folding on?
Thanks!

Sure. You won't produce many points, but it would still be a good contribution.
You wouldn't want to run SMP with P3 chips.
Emperor, what OS is installed on the server?
I was thinking cos it might manage to use both cpu's better then the other clients. but anyway i guess it still wouldnt be fast enough haha
Really, the best chips for SMP are the Core 2 chips. I'm thinking two instances of the tray client would work for this setup, if he's using a compatible OS.

Currently I don't have an OS on there, I'm going to run Linux or W2K Server most likely.
Thanks.
Thanks.

There... have the computer downstairs (the parents computer/family) running at 40% folding... and now my PS3 is folding. Once I get some better cooling when I upgrade my computer upstairs, I'll be folding on this, too.
Take a look here. That's the legacy client download page. Next to each download link, there's a help button that will give you various information on the specific client.

Awesome. In the past couple months, our team has climbed about 30 ranks. We're looking great, atm!
Although it should be noted that the while having a fast CPU to feed the GPU is nice, it is by FAR a second player for 90%+ of setups, i.e. my laptops can keep up with my secondary machines which have far faster chips, as for the number of cores, you dont need to buy a quad, if you're planning on doing GPU only folding (of course, there are other reasons to buy a quad, but dont let that be the primary).
Right. If you want to run only a GPU client, a stock clocked dual core would be sufficient. However, if you wanted to run SMP, or even SMP along with a GPU client (which I finally setup yesterday), an OC'd quad would be ideal.

How does the GPU client compare to a PS3?
Well it depends on what card you're powering it with, I know the 260 and the 280 blow the PS3 to smithereens. In my opinion, unless you're really out there to save the world from <insert random condition here>, the GPU client is really all you need to run. The CPU client is miles behind and if you look at things from a points/day versus heat, theres no reason to run the CPU client.
My experience with the GPU client only extends down to the 8800GT, so I dunno, been way too long since I ran with the 19XX cards to compare.
