SMP folding with GPU2?

Hey guys, I just started folding for OCN again on my 2 8800's as I promised (cranking out a healthy 11.4k PPD as says FahMon). Quick question though, when I run SMP folding on my E8400 (clocked 3.90 433x9), it takes forever for each % and I was wondering if its worth losing a few hundred points on my GPU2 folding in exchange for some SMP points. (It was so slow that i just stopped SMP before it even gave me a PPD estimation lol)

Well worth it. You might lose a few hundred PPD on the GPU and gain 2K on the CPU.

Seriously? The WU I had for SMP would have at least taken a day by itself dont recall the point value though, it was either a 1600 or 1800 I believe

Even a 1753Pt SMP WU minus the 300ppd you lose still = a 1400PPD increase.

Just reinstalled and started it up, the WU is a 1760 pointer, this might take a while lol
