What sort of PPD should I see ?

I'm building up a 24/7 folding rig from bits and pieces I've got and have had from a friend.

Just wondering what sort of PPD I might be looking at with this spec ?

E6600 @ 3Ghz
2gb Crucial ballistix DDR2 Ram
nvidia 7900GS 'Golden Sample' 512mb (slight overclock, cant rem actual)
Asus Pb5 mobo

Cheers
Si

Depends on the client. You can't run the PGU2 client because it only works on 8xxx cards or higher so your 7900GS can't do anything. If you run a Linux SMP client on a 3GHz E6600 you should be getting somewhere around 2200ppd; a Windows SMP client will get much less.

Umm, not sure!

Bare with me I'm brand new to all this, I have downloaded the FAH504 client as the sticky sugeested and have been running 2 instances of that, yet to try that on the new rig tho.

Thanks Chrissy, I will more than likely be using my 2nd rig for folding and it will be 24/7 so I'll take a look at those other clients.

The only other thing is how would my 7900 GS fair for PPD ? Or is it just not worth using.

Oh right lol ! Sorry Didnt realise you needed 8x series onward.

Nevermind, I'll put it up for sale then and look for an alternative.

Thanks for all the advice, I'm getting there slowly
