I've posted this in the folding section because this is about folding mostly
I want to upgrade to a Q9550 E0, clock it at 4Ghz or more if possible and fold with it
My q6600 at 3.5ghz is netting me ~6K PPD. What kind of PPD would a Q9550 at 4ghz do? anyone folding with one of these at 4Ghz?
Even tho I know I would be getting much more PPD with an i7, its way out of my budget because it needs mobo and rams aswell

with the simple Windows SMP client i get around 3500PPD with my Q9550.
with 2 VMware SMP clients i get around 3800PPD per client

Handy reference, ty. Just about to crack open VMWare/Ubuntu for the first time with dual SMP clients and had no idea what PPD a Q9550 was capable of. Cheers.

Check out this. You can run all 4 cores in 1 VMware and complete WUs much quicker. You should get around the same PPD as 2 clients, but it won't require as many resources. You should be able to complete 2 WUs in one client in the amount of time it takes to complete 2 WUs in 2 seperate clients.
