I have a quick question; I'm upgrading to a 939 mobo with a 3500+ processor. Any idea how much more quickly I'm going to be churning through WU than I am now? Current specs are in my sig.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I assume you are running at stock on the 2600+?
If you run them both at stock, I would think you will see about at 20-25% improvement. (about 15% because of the clock increase, and about 5-10% because of the 64 Architecture).
Or, in other words, if you are getting 110-220 PPD on the current system you should see about 132-275 PPD on the new system. Since the cores differ so much it is hard to be specific on this.

I think when I first calculated the advantage of 64 bit it was around 5% + or depending on the work unit you were doing. The speed increase isnt orgasmic as such but on things like those rare 600 pointers I think you will be very happy.
A lot well depend on if you over clock of course and how much you use the machine for other things.
I had to shut the farm down and at the moment Im running only this machine a 64 3200 at 2.5 gigs. All Ive had for two weeks is a mix of tinkers and gromacs so if you look at my stats BillR that might give you an idea.
Luck, enjoy the new toy
