How many PPD do you think that would generate running SMP? There's a sweet deal at newegg.
 
At stock ?

6.3k on a 6701, up to 9.8k

with a 4.0 OC

9.8k or so on a 6701, with up to 16/17k PPD on some units


edit: its what I run, so these are pretty accurate with a 2000 for stock speed, 2600 mhz for OC North Bridge speed
 
If it's just for folding, save up and get a 2600k or BD 8 core chip when prices come down after BD is released. AMD's architectures aren't very efficient for folding and having eight threads gives you a bigadv over standard SMP.

Click to expand...

my dual octos at 2.4ghz fetch me 16min 6901 tpf at 2ghz they get ~ 20min tpf...

16 real cores beats 24 threads 2ghz on amd vs 2.16 on intel...
Plenty efficient... it likes Cores...
bigadv is just biased to only run on 8+ threads

if you run linux and trick the client into thinking your x6 has 8 threads then it runs bigadv nicely...

but for a desktop... I would get a sandy...
 
Sadly as others have stated, production is down because Stanford won't allow you to run the extra big work units on anything with less than 8 threads. We know that the Thubans are more than capable, but this has been a requirement ever since the bigadv stuff came out.

Unless you are willing to wait around for the Zambezi 8 cores to come from AMD in a couple months, you have no choice but to get Sandy.

Will this be a dedicated folding rig? If it is not, then going with a Thuban might not be such a bad deal since it does very well on the SMP stuff. For folding bigadv, it is usually recommended that the rig be dedicated.
