Best setup for my e6600 rig

Ok so I have an e6600 (stock clock) 2 gigs of ram and 8800 GTS 512meg machine. Right now I have SMP running and it's going at about 36 TPF on project 6701 and the GPU is going about :50 TPF on project 5772. Should I run the GPU client exclusively, run the classic client with GPU, smp with gpu? I know testing would be the best way, but just wanted to see if anyone had a similar setup or could make suggestions based on experience. Thanks!
 
I wouldn't run the classic client as that will significantly lower your output. I haven't run GPU2 before, but I don't think it really takes too many CPU cycles, so I think running the SMP + GPU would be the best. Someone else can chime in with GPU2 experience though. I run SMP + GPU3 on my desktop, but it is a quad core, so it has some more headroom.
 
are you interested in points??

i would say:

For points- GPU and SMP

For the Science- Classic and GPU, not enough classics are being done and more people for it would be better, just ask uncle tobit
 
Yeah the GPU2 client on my nvidia card hardly uses any resources. I'm running SMP right now, maybe I'll keep running that. I have a less powerful rig I hope to bring online soon that I'll probably run classic on.
 
When I was useing a Q6600, I ran ..........

SMP on the CPU, set to idle.
GPU2 on the Vid card, set to low.

That way you max your PpD.

Luck .......... :D

When i ran my e6600 this is what is was doing - think i got about ~1.5k PPD out of it on a very good day.
 
Yeah on the SMP + GPU2 setup I'm seeing about 1.2k PPD out of SMP and 6-6.2k out of GPU2.
 
Just a follow up, it looks like I'm running about 36 TPF on the e6600 with smp and gpu2 running. Is that about right on that chip? My i7 920 is chewing through at a rate of about 10:30.
