New G4 Folders and a couple of C2D's

[visionco]

Someone in the Art department at my work thought it would be nice to have a couple of G4 MAC's so they can fool around with some graphic stuff. So the request came to my desk and I obliged and bought them 3 almost new G4's (Dual Xeons) now the kick of it all is that the person that was supposed to use these has gone on maternity leave for 6 months so they will be collecting dust NOT They are folding for TEAM 32 baby.

Now for my personal farm at home I purchased 3 dual core E2200's and 2C@D's E4500 at a fabulous price thanks to Fry's :santa:.

So with this addition I should see somewhere about 8 to 10K PPD with all the rest of my folders out there.

Oh personal note I quite smoking so I need a new hobby and guess what that is :):):).

:beer:Fold On Brothers:beer:

COngrats and WELCOME

Only if I could quit smoking I might be able to get more PPD also lol

Wow I'm only around 3k ppd but then again that is only with 2 main folders. The other is a 2.8c:D

Way2Fold, Visionco. :clap: :clap:

(Your lungs will like this quitting stuff)

[Tsiriel]

W2F!

You and me both jon, between myself and my fiancee, I have figured that we spend over $300 a month just on smoking. If we were to quit smoking, I figured I would be able to build 2 quad core systems within about 6 months time. It is just so hard to quit, I have tried numerous times in the past couple of years.

Nice borg Vision, :beer: to many more like it.

Well it looks like the extra pc's that were added did pay off and put me over 10k (http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=312608) mark for the day :drool::drool:. Time to see if the wife will let me buy a quad and add that to the mix..:beer:

Oh on the smoking thing well its been three weeks with out a single puff and it is killing me. People say that the first week is hell well guess what the 3rd week is worse than the first. I must keep my mind busy with something or I will end up walking to the store and buy a pack( ok maybe not) but it is hell right now.

Time to see what I can dig up out of the closet and build.

I think you mean G5 Dual Xeons. G4's were IBM/Motorola PPC chips. ;)

Nice grab though. :santa:

Hold on though dude, you can break your habit. If I can do it, anyone can. Believe in yourself and just focus on the goal.

i was going to say that :)
i dont even think they are G5's any more...

W2F.. :beer:

[daunsociable]

any mac with a G# is a motorola/PPC chip. thats just how they label it(like intels pentium 1 2 3 4...they have the g1-5) now the dektop towers are just the Mac Pro, the regular desktop is just the imac, and of course the macbook, macbook pro/air. they did away with the numbers when they started using intels

[visionco]

Blackstar you are right they are the G5's. The yare producig 1700 PPD and a 14 min per unit. SO that is not to shabby for IMAC's.

You are correct. Technically no, they aren't. ;) When Apple went to Intel chips the "G" line was not included and Apple went with just "Mac" "Mac Pro" and the processor name/MHz. Many people still call them "G5's" because the Mac Pro tower's use the same case exterior. (Even though the interior is radically different).

The last/fastest G5 line was the "Power Macintosh G5 "Quad Core" (2.5)" and the "Xserve G5/2.3 DP Cluster Node (PCI-X)". Both were discontinued August 7, 2006.


So if they are Intel machines (not PPC) then they would be either:

"Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 (2.66 GHz D. Core Xeon 5150 x2)" or
"Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.8 (2008) (2.8 GHz Q. Core Xeon E5462 x2)"


Unless they were Xserves:

"Xserve Xeon 2.0 "Quad Core" (2.0 GHz D. Core Xeon 5130 x2)" or
"Xserve Xeon 2.8 "Quad Core" (2.8 GHz Q. Core Xeon E5462)"



But in the last post he said 'iMacs'. So, if they are in fact iMacs, they could only be anyone of these:

iMac "Core Duo" 1.83 17-Inch (IG) - 1.83 GHz Core Duo (T2400)
iMac "Core Duo" 1.83 17-Inch - 1.83 GHz Core Duo (T2400)
iMac "Core Duo" 2.0 20-Inch - 2.0 GHz Core Duo (T2500)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 1.83 17-Inch (IG) - 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo (T5600)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 17-Inch - 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7200)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.16 20-Inch - 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7400)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.16 24-Inch - 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7400)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 20-Inch (Al) - 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7300)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 20-Inch (Al) - 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7700)
iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 24-Inch (Al) - 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T7700)
iMac "Core 2 Extreme" 2.8 24-Inch (Al) - 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extr (X7900)

None of the iMac lines currently have Xeons.

Best way to find out exactly what you have under Mac OS X is to look under the Apple Menu (upper left top bar) and select 'About this Mac" and then click 'more info'. That will give you complete specs on the machine.

Under Windows, the specs would be in the standard location for hardware info. :bday:

AFAIK Stanford has no SMP client for the motorola chips :mad:, my G5s at work fold so horribly running dual uni-processor PPC clients (ppd-wise) I took it off of all of them months ago. 1700ppd out of an intel Mac running SMP sounds about right though. If anybody has a iMac G5 getting 1700ppd I'd like to see how its configured. :)
