I've been pretty stagnant for the last 2 years. Just set & forget an old 6.34 smp client on as many core2duo's and old i5's as I could and let it run. Well, I recently imaged the labs here and decided not to continue folding on them because of how much power they use for 1-2k PPD each.... (87x 2.4 - 3.0 Core2Duos). And I've worked at bringing more i5's in the mix to compensate for that PPD loss. Still have at least a dozen to do.
But now the good news. Those lab computers are well passed retirement age, and I'm trying to get 87 new dekstops ordered. I haven't monitored the production capability of newer stock i5's in the last few years, but 10K PPD has been my estimate for 2nd gen ones I've had folding. The current desktop model we use is either 3rd or 4th gen. Will update when they come in.
