I know of what we're doing is good for the science, no matter what team or platform it is done on... But, you're sure making me contemplate walking away from Folding and putting some of my time and money to other things.

We stepped up the effort recently because of the MacOSx challenge but it does take a toll. I can imagine how your individual efforts are so incredible. Like I stated in previous post, 3K PPD is unrealistic for us. It is an anomaly, an exception, pure luck, and most of all, only due to a collective ...

I have done the math! Yes, it's not cheap! But as far as a comparative points basis a Dual Xeon 3.06 OC to 3.17 (running 4 clients) = 2 P4 2.4C HT OC to 3.4 (running 2 clients) = 2 Dual Athlon MP 2400+ no OC (running 2 clients). Or in numbers I have gathered 245 PPD = 2 x 132 PPD = 2 x 137 PPD. An A...

Yes I am running 2 CLI clients on the P4 boxes. Obviously with HT enabled. The Athlon 2400+ MPs are clocked at 2.0GHz (no overclocking).
