My rig is showing its age a bit, and I would like to give it an upgrade to pump out a little more RAC. It has a e6600 @3GHz or so, and a vid card that doesn't support CUDA.
There is a q6600 (should clock at least as fast as the duallie, right?) and a bfg 9800gx2 in the classifieds that I have been eying. Now, I don't really care about gaming or desktop performance. The duallie is plenty fast for surfing and listening to pandora, and the only games I play are TF2 and age of empires. Neither of those require powerhouse computers.
My question is, which of these will give me the biggest seti boost. It might be obvious to some, but I've never used the GPU crunching before, so I have no idea.
Edit: I would love to get both, but I don't think my 520W corsair could push them.
