20 bucks?

opps: I thought you meant from you, not that you had not bought it yet. Hey, only one way to find out what it can do right?
 
One of my boxen is a dual Xeon 550. Its left on 24/7. Somewhat being used as a print server / anything else I want to put on it at the time. Overall I'd say it does nothing but fold 95% of the day. Finishes those 241 point Tinkers in about 5-5.5 days, which it seems to get more of then anything else. However I'm not using the -advmethods flag on it. Max deadline for those is 68 days. Does them in plenty of time. Just don't expect more then one or two WUs a week per process.

 
Gosh I have a dual pentium 3 xeon and it folds, it helps me get some extra points using it to fold with timeless Wu's, I have a quad xeon coming up to run dual processors soon, so more points to me.
 
In linux, would I need to run two copies with seperate machine ids to get both processors working?

YES, make 2 folders, I use fold1 and fold2 .

the good thing about linux is that you dont use the -local flag.
