Wowsas. How?!
Right now I'm running:
- 6 Core i5 2400 (1 is dead ATM) -> 8000 to 11000 ppd each
- 1 Core i7 940 -> 14000 to 15000 ppd
- 1 Core 2 Duo E7500 - > 2200 ppd
- 1 Core 2 Duo E4400 -> 1500 ppd
- 1 Pentium D 940 -> 900 ppd
- 1 Pentium 4 HT 641 -> 500 ppd
Can turn on when people stop being so stupid at work
- 1 Core 2 Duo E4500 -> 1600 ppd
- 1 Core 2 Duo E4400 -> 1500 ppd
Can bring out the big guns if I find time
- 6 Core i5 2540M -> ? ppd
- 1 Quadro 2000 -> 14000 ppd

find the time!!
it would take everything i have left just to not lose too bad if you were able to add the 2540s and quadro in...

Looks like the Quadro 2000 will only give me a little over 5K ppd. May greatly vary depending on work unit. Since this is my first GPU folder, will see what it can pick up over the next week to see if this is typical. Add to that my popped 2400 mb won't be fixed until next week too

ppd varies by work unit and driver version. from what i've read, you might want to use the 266.45 drivers.

That's what I read too and am using here. Giving about 24h for this WU, so I'll see what it's next WU is and what it's ppd is.
Getting the C2D E4500 up now as well, so should see a 7500 ppd bump
And you're lucky I can't touch these two Xeon E5640's I have here (8 core @ 2.67GHz)

my 5640s are producing about 16k each... that would be a nice addition if they'd let you
FWIW, I get about 3k per day out of my i3 2330M

My ppd average should go up to 80K-85K soon if I keep pulling these WU's with what I've turned on in the last couple days. Then to 95K-ish once that mb is fixed early next week *crosses fingers*
If there are no power outages here, I should be good to go

if you have an smp client that is capable of 20k ppd or more, and a half decent internet connection, bigadv is the way to go. my main rig went from 27k ppd to 36k ppd when i used bigadv units. the only reason i stopped is that my internet connection couldn't sustain a good connection for more than 10 minutes at a time, killing the bigadv 100MB uploads.
currently, i am running 100% vanilla SMP clients. no bigadv, no gpu, no straight cpu.

why? i can see electricity usage being a slight concern (though most businesses won't notice even an extra kilowatt usage), but there's really no other issue with folding.
my boss only recently greenlighted folding on our servers because we pay for bandwidth. after some very extensive math (and accurate production estimates), we found that even loading all our servers with clients would only increase our bandwidth usage by about 0.01%. 24GB/month (for ~50 servers) out of the 190TB/month we currently use.

update (based on production estimates):
in 41 days, i will reach 20 million
in 42 days, BugSmashR will reach 20 million
in 48 days, Honsy will reach 20 million
bugsmashr is doing a good job of keeping the rest of us on our toes! he is now producing 35k ppd!
honsy is again gaining ground, and continuing to increase production, with more to follow when the i5 2400 comes back online!
