Interested in what everyone's got folding for them. It beats just looking at the points people are churning out.

Here's mine:

10x Pentium 4 (Prescott) @ 3.0Ghz - on between 0 and 24hrs a day

4x Celeron (Northwood) @ 2.4Ghz - on between 0 and 24hrs a day

1x E6320 (Conroe) @ 1.86Ghz (2 x Standard Clients) - usually 24/7

1x A64 4000 (San Diego) @ 2970Mhz - around 5 hours a day
 
1 * Q6600 @ 3.5Ghz ATM - Stability testing still!
1 * Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz
1* E8500 @ 3.6Ghz
1* E2180 @ 3.2Ghz
1 * P4 Prescott @ 3.9Ghz
1 * X2 Duel Core AMD @ 3Ghz

plus a couple of older system..
 
All running Ubuntu in VMWare:

Q6600 @ stock (will o/c but don't have the time to fiddle now so it'll do).
E6600 @ 2.9
E6600 @ stock
T7700 @ stock

Running WinSMP:

E6600 @ stock
P4 D @ stock

Running OSX:

T2300 @ stock
 
At the moment:

1 Q6600 @ 3.2 SMP client

soon to be :

1 Q6600 @3.2 SMP client
1 Q6600 @ 2.4 higher if overclockable SMP client (24/7)
1 P4 630 @ 3ghz standard WU's

I got the bug :eek:
 
One e2160 at stock running 24/7 and I've just got a pentium t2330 dual core which will be running mostly during the day. The e2160 is running two standard clients and I'm gonna try and run vmware SMP clients on the new laptop (and yes I am as excited as a dog with two ***** about having a new laptop, I'm such a child :rolleyes::p)
 
Sorry to burst your bubble, but based on my T2300 which completes work using a native client in 72% of the deadline, I suspect the T2330 will barely make the deadlines run 24/7, so only running it 'during the day' it'll stand no chance at all. The T2330, despite the higher number, appears to be lower spec than the T2300:

T2300 - 1.66GHz, 667MHz FSB, 2MB L2.
T2330 - 1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB L2.
E2160 - 1.80GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2.

If you can't run it 24/7 then I'm afraid it's going to have to be oldskool WUs.

For completeness, I've included the E2160 as well, which is also higher spec than the T2330.

Apologies. :(
 
It's really struggling with installing the SMP client anyway so I'm gonna have to stick with two standard clients.

i was more excited about having a laptop which wouldn't take forever to load everything up in general use anyway, should still provide a big increase in points compared to the old centrino one :)
 
Well, double at least.

Same reason I upgraded, but then I got myself a refurb T7700-based laptop for just over half retail price. Win all around I'll say. :)
 
Yeah would have ideally waited till the summer and spent more but the my old acer started playing silly buggers. Wasn't going to mess about with it being the final term of my 3rd year at uni so had to get this one. Not bad for £400 from a shop rather than online I must say though.
 
Just finished my farm upgrade tonight - everything seems to be stable (I hope so, I'm off to Egypt for a month tomorrow :p).

Computer room:
2x Q6600s (G0) @ 3.5GHz running two WinSMP clients each.
1x E6600 @ 3.0GHz running one WinSMP client.
1x E6300 @ 3.15GHz running one WinSMP client.

Bedroom:
1x Q6600 (G0) @ 3.5GHz running two WinSMP clients.
1x Q6600 (B3) @ 3.0GHz running two WinSMP clients.

Living room:
1x Q6600 (G0) @ 3.5GHz running two WinSMP clients.
 
haha, Stan if you carry on at this rate you'll end up clustering your PCs and shooting for the top500 supercomputer list. :)
 
Pneumonic, I'd be really interested to see some comparison of PPDs from your 2180 vs your 8500. Can you find some WUs they've both done and post it here?

[ I've been following the Top500 list for years, mostly it's dull as hell but sometimes the progress and technology changes are interesting ]
