What you really have to pay attention to is how much RAM you have. If you're at 512, I'd stay with regular work units. If you're at a Gig+ though, running large units would maximize your points.

Is there anything special that I have to do to run large units?

How to make your machines get more points? Here's how:
1)When you first set F@H up, tell it to allow big units (>5MB to download/upload). I think 512MB RAM is enough to do Big Units (I do it all the time).
2)Install it as a service, so it runs whenever the machine is on.
3)Go into the registry and add the -forceasm flag to the ImageName
4)If you have 1GB or more RAM, add the -advmethods flag to the ImageName
5)On your x2, install two copies of F@H, each in its own folder, and run each with the -local flag (along with the other flags listed above). When you run each instance of F@H for the first time, give them a machine ID of 1 and 2 (F@H needs a unique ID for each processor/core).

All those cpu's should be able to get solid overclocks too, especially the X2. Thats another way to up your production. Well I guess the XP's might not be good overclockers if they're tbred cores, but bartons should get up to 2.2 and they'll be pretty speedy folders.
