dual yonah prototype board!! run 4 clients, still much less power than a single high clock prescott, that gotta be the best ppd for buck folding rig!!!

p.s. only thing worry about is IF it can provide enough memory bandwidth to feed all 4 cores especially for folding....

I'll reserve judgement on a 4 core board as a folder until I see how much memory bandwidth it has. If it has the same or less bandwidth as the current dual cores (like intel duallies have less than the single cores) then you'll have 4 seriously bottlenecked cores instead of just two moderately bottlenecked cores.

I've been eyeing up the new pentium 9xx (pressler 65nm). These look like they may be some sick overclockers.

Looks like by christmas of 2006 for a new system for me.

Setup as a standard folder (not QMD) then it should run fine with all 4 cores folding. ISn't it true that the Dothan can not get QMDs and that the yonah is 2 dothan cores?

Click to expand...

but there is also word that the client will be fixed so dothan's can get QMDs the current reason is they are reported as PIII whichi of course aren't supported as QMD folders. However as has been shown with numbers QMDs on a P4 is less ppd than what the dothans can do w/o them clock for clock.
