If you guys were to guess, what would the systems in my signatures produce folding wise in PPD?

I'd have to fold two clients on the AMD in ubuntu 64 bit, and 2 clients and a cuda client on the intel rig. I hear using multiple clients fixes issues... either way, whatever I have to do to set it up to run right, what should I expect to see PPD wise?

Am i wrong to guess somewhere in the 10,000PPD range?

The 3800 x2 will produce from 180 to 360 ppd per instance, depending on available WUs on the cpu client.

The 5300 will make from 220 to 550 ppd per instance, depending on the WUs, on the cpu client.

Currently most of the WUs are likely to be closer to the low end of the range.

You should be able to run the smp client on the 5300 for about 1000 ppd. I don't have any small cache C2s so I'm not real sure about production on them.

The 260 should fold with shaders at 1458 (that's what your current setting is actually running at) and produce 6000 to 7000 ppd depending on the WU. Core and memory OC do nothing for folding but produce heat and eat power.

There's a step at 1476 for me. And that's what it runs at. O.o

But at any rate, we're saying about 7000PPD on the high end?

Aynjell, my pc with is similar to yours, other than I think fsb and cpu cache averages approx 8500ppd, can hit 11k with the right work units.

Looking at it there's very little difference between our rigs. You have a slightly older verison of my board (p35?) a better CPU, and I have twice as much RAM (useless, but I'm preventing what happened on my last build).

we've both got p45 chipset, just different options. like i said, we're very similar in structure. I think I might have a higher FSB, since your chip has a higher multi, Also My chip has a higher cache.. overall I think we'll perform similarly on f@H.

That wouldn't surprise me... although I'm sure you'd get few hundred more than me if the estimates are accurate. i'd credit the cache increase (triple what mine is) a few hundred PPD every other day or so... so a few thousand a month more.

Maybe, but close enough for gummint work
