I don't think the 9600 gso will give me 30k, from what I've been able to gather maybe an extra 2-3k a day, that would put me at 25-26k. I just figured that I have an empty slot on my asus motherboard with the built in 9300M, I've been playing with trying to get that working in linux, and it seemed like the 9600 gso would be good for experimenting with running multiple gpus. I've read that it works if the shader counts are integer multiples, and with the 9300M having 16 shaders, that should be compatible with lots of cards. But I'll need to experiment, and the 9600 gso card seems like a cheap way to test the setup.
But as far as future plans go, I always have an eye out for more stuff. Just today I noticed a good motherboard cpu combo deal at Fry's, and it's a motherboard on the EFI-X compatibility list, and I've been dying to set up a system with that and make a cool Hackintosh, and they're getting close to the release of the V1.1 Efi-X dongle, so I bet I'll be giving that a shot soon. And I really want to pick up one of those Pegatron mini-itx atom 330 boards with the pci-e x16 slot on it, seems like an ideal little dedicated folding system. And my couch laptop is an old pentium 4 system, I should really replace that at some point. That's just embarasing. And I finally cleaned out my old cm stacker, a huge old case with mounting room for dual power supplies. Wonder what I'll get up to with that.
So all in all, yeah, I'm hoping for 30,000, and more.
