Universe@home could do with propping up Colin if you like that project, we've recently lost a couple of spots on that one.

Edit: there is also CSG which now has work, we are currently ranked nowhere on that in FB, well, way out of the points anyway.

I picked up an old HP desktop for free. I now have it running Asteroids.
I dropped a spare E8200 into it and it crunching well.
I'm not too familiar with Intel as I mostly use AMD, but does anyone know how to tell if it will take a Core 2 Quad?
I might pick up a cheap Q6600 if I can, double the output :)

Its not an 'off the shelf' motherboard, so it's hard to tell.

The unit is an HP DC7800 S (small form factor business PC).
I found a spec sheet that lists it as being available with anything from a Celeron 420 up to a C2Q Q9550.
But it doesn't say anything about the mainboard. So I don't know if all the variations use the same board.

I did have to flash to BIOS to accept the E8200.

It also has a PCI-E slot....so I could add a low profile card.

Edit: Here's what I found.

Going by that spec sheet and a quick google you should be good to put a quad in it. It's only the usff one that cant take quads and that doesnt have a pcie slot.

You could try cpuz to see if that reviels anything else about the motherboard.
