I also forgot to mention that GPU clients still require CPU overhead... so having additional CPU power to run a GPU or two while folding would work best. Just one GPU client can slow down the bigadv folding to knock 10,000 or more points off the early completion bonus. All bigadv units have a variable bonus, and an overall 6 day deadline. Must finish the WU inside 4 days to get any bonus. Bigadv works on as many as 32-core systems...

Leeghoofd, I'll PM you the details + links

This requires a 64bit Linux install, native or virtual machine. (I use a VM).

Foldingbot.com?

or an OSX install

Looking into it atm, but am afraid of my electric bill (been there done that and it wasn't nice to see or pay

)

Undervolt the entire system?

Close enough http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...y.php?s=&t=198 Half a dozen sites track comprehensive stats.

Can't undervolt an overclock.

Ouch! A undervolted 800Mhz Pentium 4 would triple those points per week...

well, we ran F@H when a daily output of 100-200 with multiple PCs was high

I had 7 PCs running at one point, max point per gromac was ~19 or so

So did I, but today you can configure the client for more advanced projects... even single-core CPU's can do them. My Pentium M laptop generates around 275 PPD.

I don't fold with any older machines today, power costs are not worth it when a modern computer is 30x+ faster + can do GPU work on the side. The higher the system hardware requirements for larger project sizes, and the faster the completion time both will raise the PPD that can be attained from different projects. Bigadv for example requires 6GB of RAM.
