Getting Back in the Game

[nitrobass24]

When i quit folding about a year or so ago i was getting about 225k off an SR-2, my dual E5530s, and two i7-920 setups.

What i have:
my desktop i7-920
my server 2P - E5530s
my HTPC - i7-920

What should i do?

Fold for [H] team 33 again!

Of course, the rest of the brood will probably start brow beating you into getting a 4P G34 setup...

exactly what you were doing back then ..... however the i7's are all going to be -smp now, and the E5530's as well probably.

If you jump on IRC you may get more advice.

Are you looking to spend money? If so, what is your price range? What is your ppd goal?

Starting what you have is probably good for 60K - 70K ppd. To top that, you are going to have to add or replace some hardware.

Not really looking to spend money, just trying to get the best out of what i have.

OK, native Linux where you can, Linux VMs where you can't. For the time being, you can run bigadv on all three of your machines. That won't last long, so take advantage while you can. Your dually may have problems with deadlines on 6903/6904s, and it can get them since it has 16 logical cores - keep an eye on it. If it can't make deadlines, there are a couple threads on FF about forcing a machine to not get 6903/4s.
