I'm letting them run a single full WU. I created a Storm on Demand image that builds, boots, fires up folding with my info and the -oneunit flag, automatically adds -smp and -bigadv depending on the number of cores. I then go in and remove the server once it has finished it's WU and I have collected my data.
sorry, cant edit my original post for some reason, not even running 24hours straight, 560ti netted me 13089 points, so a complete full day of folding probably be even higher than that. clocks are 900/1050/1800 which is a stock oc for this asus card.
This is what I came up with doing testing on my new dual opteron 6134 system. The list is project, ppd, overall credit, base credit and the final set is if dynamic load balance is available for the WU.
Bump. Updated AMD ppd set with 6134 and 6136 from my DP rigs.

Just starting, 4 raw Classic 6.34 modes running on a MSI H61M-P21 Mainboard with an i7-2600k CPU at default speed (3.4 GHz each core).
Totall PPD so far, 3700 PPD (with FAHmon barely stable as to PPD calcs per core) approximate total. Will ramp up to SMP later, and install the MSI OC Genie II to see what OCing it can auto-generate.

I think you could do better with a different chipset (P67 or Z68). Is there a reason why you chose to pair the H61 chipset with the 2600K CPU? The H61 chipset is not over-clocking chipset but the K-series CPU is known for its over-clock ability.

Indeed I would do better with a OCing board as to production, but money is a hugely MAJOR issue. I got the mainboard I am using for $59.95 shipped, and it is a rev 3.2 board. The bottleneck on the board is BUSSING.
Since I am deliberately letting my room hover at 80-82 Farenheit high for day today, and am only for now air cooling the case, I have in essence a CPU that is going to get about as hot as I need it to stably.
I do not need the CPU to Speed Step slower, and affording a liquid cooling setup is months away from being something I can afford, and I will have to save for a new mainboard even. I deliberately bought a Newegg bundle to core build the system with, for about $300.00 shipped.
My main computer is a laptop. It does not fold well or fast. It has a gen-one i7 in it.
You would do much better with SMP client now, even if you limit the number of cores it is folding on. The classic or uniprocessor client is horrible for PPD
I use the v7 SMP client and limit my i7 to two cores during the day and then let it run full tilt at night, drops my PPD a bit, but worth it to keep the system still folding even during the middle of the day.

True, that can be done. I ramped up things my way-- I have right now seven instances of cores running on my i7's cores. Each core of the i7 2600k second-gen CPU I have will support a core running in parallel twice over. Core two runs almost all the Windows overload, of which there is little. Right now my CPU is 84 percent loaded for total load, as I run everything at 95% load, at default base of 3.4 GHz.
I run one EXE and one Service out of each folder/directory for folding I have. I have four folders/directories. This works because each folding EXE in individually named folders (one per core) has a different name to Windows.
Mom and I have the house AC'd during summer to 80-82 Farenheit, if the temp outside is above 85 Farenheit and/or humidity is high. So what it was today for high, is what most of summer will be like for insdie the house. Florida taught me to air cool well...

Um, SMP 6.34 Client x 4, no SMP switch so it runs in Classic mode for now (the docs on Folding say it will do that). Will switch after I see how many Clients I can run stably at once-- appears to be four for this CPU. Might have to leave one sans the SMP switch, so one processor pipe is free for Windows. Windows thinks it has CPUs 0-7 ( ::) ). I also have more RAM coming, I got Value grade G.Skill DDR3 1333 RAM, a 4 GB stick for $19.99 no ship fee. Expect next the RAM next Monday or Tuesday. My motherboard only has two sockets for RAM.

I know that you're trying to "ramp things up," but I think what Tushon is saying is that there is no reason to run multiple classic clients on modern processors. I do run two clients on an old P4 with HT, but that's because there's no way it could finish a SMP WU in time. Your processor could finish a SMP WU with 6 threads tied behind its back, and make more points in the process.
Whenever you change the settings, you will want to run a single SMP client with -smp X, where x is the number of cores. If you want to do some scheduling, you can do it as pigflipper does, using v7 client. Multiple clients as SMP will be a detriment.

OK, will try it that way with the v. 6.34 client for now. EACH of my clients is doing 8011's and 8001's in about 1/4 the deadline time as it is, due to sheer speed per core and subcore parallel thread processing of CPU.
I need to find the download link and install guide for V. 7 client for Windows. I do not see one here or on Folding's main site. The Beta download link leads to install info and download of the v. 6.34 32 bit client, with instructions to run it as a -SMP or -SMP 4 (in my case, four core CPU, 2 parallel threads per core). If there is a Windows guide for V. 7 client with a download link in it, would someone link to it please???
I think v6 will run -smp 8. I specify N threads, but IIRC, just setting the -smp flag without specifying the number of threads should use all that are available, as it will detect that number when it starts.

Thank you muchly-- will reconfigure now.
EDIT/ADD: Running an old WU, partly done. FAHMon is guessing at 6495 PPD right now. Had to use -SMP 8 to get the CPU running right. With a P8001 FAHMon is getting an estimate that has to be low. It will increase as new WUs are downloaded and run.
Again, THANKS.

PPD up to about 17,000 PPD, average for about 6 hours folding with the V. 7 client (It is doing a P8011 every 44 min average). No GPU except the built-into-CPU Intel Graphics 3000 to GPU with, so am SMP only. The CPU is pegged at 100% however, has been 98% earlier today.
Nice! That sounds about right given what K has listed for a 2500K on the front page. These Sandy Bridge chips pump out a lot of PPD per chip.

The PPD is stabling out at about 16,600 with a steady stream of P8011s coming. We will see what happens over a week's time, I guess. The CPU is not OC'd at all, stock base rate of 3.4 GHz folding.
Let us get a bump on this. Since 2012 there has been a bit of hardware changes and we can greatly add to this list. I know I need to put my 7950 up here and a 4770k. There are a few new R series ATI cards in the IC group we should try and get some benchmarks from.
