I am new to F@H and just setup the client on my workstation and am trying to register on HardFolding website, but I can't get to the stats page. It just sits there without anything loading? Whats the deal?

Also, I am planning on build a new "boxen" for this as I would like to be involved. What are the most efficient GPU's and CPU's for their price and PPD?
 
For price/PPD, GPUs hands down. A 460 GTX GPU will do about 10K to 12K PPD at $80ish. A 8-core cpu will do about 20K to 32K PPD( depending on make/model ), but cost several hundred dollars( CPU/MB/Mem/PSU ).

you don't actually need to register on that site.

short term, yes. long term heck no. the cost of running a 460 @ 10k PPD is no where near cost effective to just spending the extra money on a 2600k and motherboard. trust me i learned the hard way of sticking with gpu folding, the 3 years of running my 8800GT and GTX 260 with my phenom II 940, i paid for my rig 4 times over in electricity and only made a dismal 500k points in total out of it. i'll never make that mistake again.

The question i think was aimed @ efficiency, guess i didnt think of it the way you did. If your looking for per dollar, GPU, however if your thinking for heat output + power draw, CPU wins hands down

I now know why I am not up there. My POS Athlon CPU is only 6% done with his first WU. Will install on my fileserver and see if that helps.

It looks like from his question he is building a new boxen and is planning on running both, he is looking for the most efficient and productive per dollar spent which I believe will be CPU, i7 3930 and GPU 460. The most efficient would be a 4P - 61xx boxen and forget the GPU. ;)

It might be more efficient but it sure gets expensive when you start building more than 1 of them. ;)

Grandpa, your sig says your 4P is at 2.2 GHz. We know that's not true. Isn't it something like 2.475 GHz? You didn't remove the OC did you?

True cost of ownership says otherwise.

I am hoping to see my 8 core do that kind of PPD, waiting on cooler before overclocking
 
Alright, let me clarify. I will be putting a single 40u rack in my basement and want to rackmount my file server, a VMWare lab (1-2 servers), and all my networking equipment. I would also like to setup a boxen or two. I would have to get rackmount case, psu, mobo, cpu, (gpu(s)), and ram. I will be running a new 30 amp 220v circuit to the rack. I will be paying for power. In the winter, it will be cold enough in there for cooling. In the summer, I will have a dedicated AC unit (if needed). What is the best performing cpu/gpu combo for PPD, taking into account purchase price and power utilization?
 
You need to snatch up a 4P motherboard and CPUs if any more come up in the F/S section.

Pure raw CPU power. It has a cost up front, but is by far the cheapest to run when It comes to power vs the PPD you get.

250-500k ppd for around 500 watts is common. Just depends if your getting 8 core or 12 core chips and what speed they run.
 
Persoanlly if it was me I would mount the boxen nekkid. I am also a cheapskate when it comes to cases so what do I know!

It is still running at 2.475, just have not got around to changing the sig yet. I figure it I will change it when I can put a 2 in frunt of the 4P :D
