OK, been waiting for this. Two months is good prep time.
I've decided only to fold on occasions like this. |

What's a handicapped points system? And April 20th would be amazing IMO. Count me in for all of my spare CPUs

It's a weighted points system that allows smaller teams to compete with the bigger teams. Still too early to elaborate on the structure.

I'm starting to line up some gear for my rigs for this year's challenge
I have some quick question(s) Is a GTX 670 any good for F@H? What kind of ppd can I get out of a pair of GTX 580's? How much does the CPU matter? I may run the cards in either an FX-8150 rig and/or Phenom II 1045T rigs or would a Xeon hex core make a significant difference?

I don't know of anyone on our team using 580's, but my 560 Ti's get upwards of 28k PPD, so I'd think 40% more than that.? The short answer is no. The 6xx series puts more load on the CPU than previous Nvidia cards, but it's still low in comparison to the ATI/AMD cards. I'm running 3 of my cards right now on single core socket 939 systems.

Any idea how a 670 would perform compared to a 580?
Heat? Output?

Would it be worth while to run a gtx 280? Also with Amd cards, how do they fair with a fast say 6 core cpu? 6850's and 7850's to be specific?

We're only talking about 10 days, so yes, a GTX 280 is "worth it." AMD GPU's need a core for each GPU. Folding or crunching on the CPU's at the same time can be done but cores must be reserved for the GPU's or both PPD's will suffer.

Looks like a mid-April start date possibly...?? I will say that this years CC is lacking organization, but I will camp in the Captains thread and hopefully have some solid info this weekend.
Edit: to be exact...April 13th (a Saturday), through April 22nd (a Monday).
