I've got an extra K8n Neo2 Platinum laying around now that I've upgraded. What would be the best s939 cpu for this for folding? Keep in mind, I can't spend a lot of money, so I'm looking for the most bang for my buck and maybe even a bit energy efficient.

Any suggestions for what I should add to the [H]orde?
Thanks,



EDIT: Just broke into the top 100,000. Woot! #1 here I come! :p

3200 Venice and OC the heck out of it. With some $80.00 value ram (the 1 gig pack on sale at the egg) from corsair you should be good for 2.5 or 2.6 gigs of fast folding.

Second that on the CPU, although I'd reccomend for RAM going with PDP. Not sure how well it'll do in dual-channel, but the DDR400 they have easily stomps at 2-2-2-5, and I've heard it's up there with G-skill for overclocking, although I haven't tried b/c of room heat and stability issues with my mobo. It's a pretty good price as well, at 86 bucks for the 1 gig dual. Yes, it says cas 3, but it'll do 2-2-2-5 no problem. Not sure why they even market it as cas 3, actually.

Linky.
