Hello All,
Been a long time since I've been active on F@H, and from the looks of it, the landscape has changed a fair bit.
I still have about 10 to 12 usable GPU's mostly 9800 GT's, couple 8800 GT's and 2x GTX-280's, however, from what I've been reading, GPU's are not the flavor of the day with respect to PPD anymore.
So the question is, should I retool for one of these 48 core Opteron BigDave Rigs (Intel would be nice, but way to much $$ fer MP's) and use my quad cores for SMP without the GPU's or go back and retool for higher end GPU's?
Just looking for the most bang fer the buck as it were. If the Opteron is the way to go, what Motherboards / PSU combination would you recommend?
Hope your all doing well and look forward to getting back into the points chase, although, looking at some of the PPW now days, there's some pretty stout competition at the top of Team-10
