Couldnt someone have like 10 of these and have an uber folding machine?

via chips suck for folding though :(

Well unfortunately you can only send in one MIR per household, so you could only get the good price on one board/proc. Secondly, AFAIK, the VIA processors aren't much good for folding because they lack certain operations that folding needs, making them work around it and be much slower. I think you'd just be better off getting cheap AMD rigs.

Really? Well that sucks :-/
I guess it would just be better to get that cheap $10 amd mobo and a duron, huh?

Get a 1.8Ghz duron at newegg for $41. I got a 1.4Ghz there for $43 back in october, but at least it was unlocked.

Also, as was shown in a previous thread, that processor is not 1.2Ghz, it is called 1.2giga pro. It is maximum only 800Mhz and does not have SSE.

you can get a duron 1.8 and mobo from frys for 40 bucks.

im running one of those right now, accept i bought the one that will run DDR for only $5. I cannot even seem to get it to run FAH correctly? the app just keeps closing. I bought this thing simply because it was soo cheap, and i didnt need any other hardware. Specifacly for folding, even if it is slow, it will get some stuff done.
