    Link on how to set that up?

    I forget what thread I posted it in, some quad thread. Try a search for it in the FAH forum.

    2 clients + install the program Leo mentioned. It runs as a service, you never see it again. Just open the 2 clients and the program sets the afinity for the cores automatically. Easy 700-800PPD increase from only 2 SMP clients alone.

    Dan, HERE is the Affinity Changer download page. Simple: download, run it, fire and forget. If you wish to turn it off (don't know why you would) simply go to Services and turn it off.

    well I finally felt the AS5 on my server was cured enought to start bumping up the OC, and my B3 is sitting at 3.02GHz so far and still running a max of 53c under load. This puts my 2 quad rigs at roughly 5300ppd for the pair, but I can always use another 2700ppd :D

    Dan, don't be afraid to boost vCore higher. Both B3 and G0 will take much higher core temps than 53C, and in stride.

    In case anyone still cares:

    More Phenom Comparisons

    I suppose the most heart-sickening shocker for me are the

    Power Comparisons

    AMD was supposed to champion this ....

    :sawed:=AMD $&#((* performance..... as idiotic as this sounds; as a partial fanboi of Intel this is good news ... but has a computer hobbyist this is distressing news. If Intel lacks the quality competition of AMD, will the processor development be compromised ... or will my wallet just stay fatter:bigggrin:

    Problem was twofold: 1) AMD let their technological and markets wins of 2002-2005 swell their heads, and 2) Intel woke up and has not sat still since waking.

    Gotta love AMD's PR department. According to them, AMD quad core is a mid-range product at competitive price so that ordinary users can afford new technology. And to think, we used to bash Intel for their PR spin!

    HOLY COW!!

    How about 5500PPD out of a 4Ghz Yorkfield with 2 Linux VMs setup??

    :wow:

    Leonardo strokes his chin and starts scheming how to establish a slush fund that his wife won't know about.

    Hmm - lunch money! I'll brownbag at work. That adds up! Oh wait, I already brown bag.

    Coffee fund! Ah...no, I take hot coffee in to work with me.

    Find a cheaper cellphone plan! Oh, hmm, I don't have a cellphone.

    Ah, I'll do my son's chores and he'll pay me! Oh crap, he's a college student and could only give me IOUs.

    I'm afraid that there are some things Folding won't cure ....

    Finances can be a juggling act in a busy family- all "my" rigs are also used for personal/business. One of the reasons you won't likely see true 24/7 operation out of me anytime soon.

    I also enjoy my job as it is- so I may never make a fortune and enjoy a "Fantastic Folding Farm" full of Yorkfields, etc.
