Looking good Bogmali. Do we have 120 kPPD there? Good luck with the OC. I read that it is a bit of a pain.

Unfortunately the 1207 Opty's do not respond well to OC's, plus the fact that if I wanted to I would not know where to begin due to the boards layout and complicated BIOS settings

Ehh i wouldn't spend that on it. If i were to spend that much on a card i could get a gts 450 or maybe a used 460 that would give you way more PPD.

Quick reply needed:

I'm getting a good deal on a PC with a Intel Core 2 Duo E7400. How does that fare with folding? I'll be adding a 470 to it.

Yeah, I have an OC'ed 470 folding right now and get about 14.8kPPD on the 6800WUs. I have another 470 in the mail, and though I was intending to plug it into my main rig, I'm now considering having a dedicated folding rig with that GPU. Would the the E7400 be decent for that kind of a rig.

I'm getting the E7400, an aftermarket cooler, a motherboard and 4GB of RAM for 150 bucks. Makes sense?

Sweet. I'll go for it. After adding a PSU, the entire setup should run me about 200 bucks.
