After seeing General Macs numbers on a P4, I decided to set up my Duallie (2 x Xeon Naconas @ 3.0) file server to see how it would do. THe Naconas are similar to the P4e, Hyperthreaded, net-burst technology. This machine wouldn't make the deadlines on the p306x series (quad only) that were dished out from time to time (it's seen as a quad). It's record was about 926 ppd on p2653 (a1). Anyway I, finished up the uniprocessor WUs, fired up Win SMP, dropped in the new Client v 6.29, set the -advmethods flag and let her rip.

Very nice ChasR, the smp2 brings new life to old machines. cudos to the F@H team for broading the bonus program. it evens the playing field depending on the cpu.
a well O/C'd I7 smp2 client ~16,000 ppd is really not that far of the -bigadv.
and gives my HTPC rig the flexibility to do other Tasks and the same time due the fact of low mem usage.
for instance: HTPC is the network hub, host 1 Tb of movies (HD) which can be viewed from all the pc's at the same time while gpu1(2GPU's)folding and smp2 -smp 8 folding, and watch tv or any movie or surf the web or record a show from the livingroom TV!(and no I dont have one of those new tv's it was purchased during the Truman administration I think lol)
I love it..Thank you F@H Well done :)
