Couldnt someone have like 10 of these and have an uber folding machine?

via chips suck for folding though

Well unfortunately you can only send in one MIR per household, so you could only get the good price on one board/proc. Secondly, AFAIK, the VIA processors aren't much good for folding because they lack certain operations that folding needs, making them work around it and be much slower. I think you'd just be better off getting cheap AMD rigs.

Really? Well that sucks
I guess it would just be better to get that cheap $10 amd mobo and a duron, huh?

Get a 1.8Ghz duron at newegg for $41. I got a 1.4Ghz there for $43 back in october, but at least it was unlocked.

Also, as was shown in a previous thread, that processor is not 1.2Ghz, it is called 1.2giga pro. It is maximum only 800Mhz and does not have SSE.

you can get a duron 1.8 and mobo from frys for 40 bucks.

im running one of those right now, accept i bought the one that will run DDR for only $5. I cannot even seem to get it to run FAH correctly? the app just keeps closing. I bought this thing simply because it was soo cheap, and i didnt need any other hardware. Specifacly for folding, even if it is slow, it will get some stuff done.
