i am looking to build a file server/folding rig for myself
but i have some questions
firstly is it possible to run the folding @home gpu client on 2 gpus?
if so is 2x3450 faster then 1 3650 for this in CF or unlinked?
second is the e2180 good for folding, my main rig also folds with a q6600, no i will not buy another quad as i want this pc to be quieter than my main rig. which is easy as that has a delta fan in

im getting an lian li v600 from a competitor as the case
only 1tb storage in the spec for now, but this may increase closer to the day i buy this
the ram is for my main rig that runs 4x1Gb sticks, i will put 2x1gb in my file server and the other 2x1GB elsewhere
MB is not final by the way, im open for suggestions but must have many sata ports and possible Cf support, my other alternative is to get my aw9d max back off my friend and use that, but will it support 3450s
also is the e6300 better then the e2180 for folding?
if so i will get that back off my aunt and she can get her own CPU
