It probably only gets about 1000 PPD but it's the last decent system up my sleeve that I have parts to operate. Running an ancient ATX PSU with an 11.5v rail but it does the job (until it blows up or something). Rest of my systems are single cores and not worth buying more parts for, so they are in line to replace whatever currently running systems break.

I'd be surprised by that, I get ~1.1-1.2k from a C2D @ 2.8GHz, which is certainly going to be faster than the Opty
