As for CPU vs GPU. A 8800GS @ $100($70 w/ a $30rebate) is 4.5K PPD vs a C2Q Q6600 G0 (used $150) with 2x SMP @ 3K PPD.

The only problem is that GPUs longevity is shorter than the CPUs in terms of the next generation. In 6 months there will be a cheaper/faster/more powerful GPU...

Then there is still ATI...

Lets just say ALOT! Just the GPUS alone... avg price $125 x 51.

I bought a few copies when I had my Quads. Vista is great for folding with multi-GPU, my e2180s are only using 18% tops each for each GPU client.

GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY! LOL

Nitteo, if I may be so bold (read: nosey ) what is your occupation to supply such a generous hobby?

And fwiw, that's a real inspiration. To spend this amount of one's time and money to help faceless others.

I fight cancer on two fronts, my business and folding.

I own a Home Care Business where I send nurses to homes to care for the elderly AT THEIR homes. One aspect of my business is we take care of Chemo-Therapy patients at home also. We take care of their ailments while on Chemo.

In Miami, my parents own a Hospice Company, where they send Nurses to take care of patients on their last months of life. Those deemed to have less than 6 months to live.

This is where I get my passion for Folding from. Seeing/hearing/talking and interacting with people who suffer from all these diseases makes you want to do something about it.

Thanks man, I do hope to get F@H more exposure here in OCN. I truly believe that OCN has a great member base that is UNTAPPED for folding. That is why I came back here. We have the potential to be the #1 Team IN THE WORLD.

Yeah if we can make Folding more of a big thing it could REALLY help out in the cause.

I myself have Huntintons Disease which has no specific treatment for and im hoping your efforts and many others here on OCN will help to speed up the research...that may later save my life...Only time will tell

But you are truley inspirational Dude. I will follow this closely.
