I know, I have been on OCN for over a year and have not folded for you yet. Now that is out of the way, I want to start folding for OCN. I have folded before, 2 years ago, but have since restructured my PC's. I now am ready to fold on 5 machines. So, I need some help, as things have changed since I folded. I will fold on my sig rig as well as some of my office dells. I am getting another dedicated folding machine with (3) 9800GX2's.
My question is how do i set this up? What is the best way of doing it for maximum ppd? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Consider me a complete noob when you post. Everything has changed, so i do not even know where to begin.
you would use 9600's over 9800GX2's? 3 x gx2's are going to cost me 520.00 US. Those are 10,000 ppd cards. Plus I can game with them on my other machine, if i want. 295's are too expensive for the increase i would get.
For GPUs I would go with GX2s or GTX295s.
The GX2s get a pretty constant 9-10k ppd. I was able to get mine for $270 shipped each (refurbs). There are some pretty good deals on eBay for them. I would suggest XFX since their warranty is usually a little better, especially on used/refurbs.
The GTX295s would be good as well. Newegg had OB ones for $350. I was arranging to get 4 of them by shipping to a second address (limit 2 per person) but they were out of stock by the time I worked everything out. I would keep a heads up for that. Link.
