I know this is a pet subject and one I talk about often, but besides the easy desktop offerings of socket 1155 stuff, are there some less obvious bargains for folding boards+CPUs?
This won't just help me but anyone else wanting to do some good folding on a tight budget.
ie: 2011 or 1366 6-core (12 thread) cpus, cheaper AMD 8-cores, Cheap Dual AMD C32, etc.
I'm sorely disappointed in the Q6600's performance and nVidia seems to no longer give good performance either. I know I'll aim for pure CPU numbers now... so your opinions are welcome!
