Also if it's dedicated, you can pick up a ps3 for $500 or less. I think they are on par with a q6600 for folding, not positive though.

I thought PS3 was supposed to be the most efficient system for folding.

Not compared to the GPU2's..

btw, bump. Whe3ls can build you an even better system for this money then he did in november, so everyone should be folding.

*** is a real job.....joking I work as an intern, and make hardly no money

sorry for the bump, it should still be moved to the folding section.......

Would it be worth folding on a 2.6ghz AMD 4400+/2GB Ram/9800gtx+ system?....i figured i might try uping my karma and teaching myself something at the same time?
