Well, before I only had a lowly 2.4ghz P4 HT crunching away, but I've just built a farm consisting of:

10x G4 700mhz eMacs
3x G5 1.8ghz iMacs
1x G5 2.0ghz iMac
1x dual 1.25ghz G4 towers

They're only running the screensaver GUI version but that's the only way I can really use them. I'm currently trying to get a few more machines lined up since we have another 2 G5 iMacs kicking about, 7 of the Intel Core2 2.0ghz machines and a dual 2.7ghz G5... alas they're not connected to the net yet. Still, it's a start. :)
 
Probably not a lot really since they're hardly superb horsepower machines. It's a shame I can't get the Intels and the dual G5 on the net since they're the real potential super crunchers that we have. Still, hopefully in the future...

Don't know about the eMacs, but the iMacs and the tower G4 should give a fair boost. All together, it should be quite an increase on the lonely P4!

Nice farm.

:)

I got around 25-30 PPD from each 700 MHz G4 rig when I had them working for me. You should expect similar results.

hardly worth the eleccy?
 
Please get "7 of the Intel Core2 2.0ghz machines and a dual 2.7ghz G5" crunching as soon as possible :D

As soon as the machines are linked up to a network they'll be crunching away. :)

I know the G4 iMacs will hardly give anything worthwhile, but the machines are available so it's better than nothing. :)
