What would be the best client to run on...

Sandy @ 3.2ghz
Westmere X5650 @ 2.66ghz

could they make the preferred deadline for bigadv...(get bonus points)
or would I be better off just running smp on them...
 
I will try that on thursday... thanks for the link...
they are getting ~15k and 20k respectively on reg. smp projects....
 
Then you should be fine for bigadv on both.
 
but would it be fast enough for it to be more ppd efficient ... thats more of the question lol... the curve of bonus point vs raw smp speed.

the x5650 should have no problem.. the sandy bridge you would probably want to overclock..

minimum is 3.6Ghz on an i7 920 to meet the deadline + bonus points. so that would be the benchmark basically on what you would need with either of those processors.
 
Both should be fine. My 920 gets 14-16k PPD on regular SMP units depending on use, and I can fold -bigadv units with no problems at all.
 
Depends what Sandy you have, you need a 2600 (HT) to run bigAdv. If you have a 2600k overclock it to ~4.8ghz and that will pump out 50k (on good units).
 
Patriot uses professional hardware (aka, mostly, if not all, Xeons).

Overclocking usually isn't a possibility.

Bah...I forgot about that. I never did port anything over to Linux. I don't think the units will run unless you use Wine. Even then, I have no idea if it will work. I'll try to test it out tonight.

and I wouldn't be running in wine... I got accepted into the beta team so I have the linux bigadv beta to play with....

I would grab the beta unit and play with it...
I am Not familiar with batch files... so it might take me a good time to port it to shell...

btw... to answer my own question... both have fast enough tpf to run bigadv
