How are people getting these crazy high PPD numbers?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm no longer up on folding -- I've had a number of boxes running for a number of years. Ranging from an P4 2.4 to a couple of decent Intel Core 2 6400 boxes. I'm running a total of 8 clients and am just under 1600 PPD (I should really retire the old PIII, at 50ppd it's really not worth the trouble).
I now see that 5-6k ppd isn't unusual for people -- are you guys just all running that many more boxes (ie., 25 clients) or are there newer clients out there that are giving ultra-high folding performance. If there is something that I should be using, that gets more work accomplished for FAH, then I should probably switch.
In any case, here's what I'm running, please make recommendations if I should be running different clients (all are running FAH 5.04 console as a service, the dual core and HT machines are running two instances).
Intel Core 2 6400, 2GB RAM, ATI X1950pro (2 clients)
Intel Core 2 6400, 1.5GB RAM, on-board Intel 945G graphics (2 clients)
Intel P4 3.0GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI 1600 (2 clients HT)
Intel P4 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI 1600 (1 client)
Intel P3 1.0GHz file server, 1GB RAM, ? video (1 client)
Thanks for the help
