System Specs

I now have (2) Q9650's here at work crunching for TPU!

I just installed the GPU2 client on my desktop at home last night - I'm going to run it when I have my PC on and its idling (I'd leave my main Home PC on for folding but I'm afraid of an H20 pump failure).

My Server/DVR PC at home uses the following (don't laugh, I got this OEM HP system out of the dumpster, fixed it & added components) -

OCZ 550W Modular PSU
ASUS P5RC-LA LGA775 Motherboard (ATI RS400 chipset)
Pentium 4 Prescott 524 @ 3.06 Ghz
1GB DDR2 (512x2)
Integrated ATI Radeon Express 200 series
160GB WD Blue (WinServer 2008 OS) / 500 GB WD Blue (For DVR Data)

Unfortunately the ASUS board won't accept C2D or C2Q, but I'm considering getting a decent Nvidia PCI-Express GPU and putting it in the system to do F@H. Does anyone think this machine would be worth putting something like a 9800 GT in to do some folding off the GPU ?

My plan is to first get some decent Nvidia GPU's and put them in these 2 Dell Optiplex 780s I use here at work and get them crunching away.
