Just thought about this last night. I know that all cores are not created equal. I'm just curious how many cores everyone is crunching with. I'm cruching 20 cores (2 i7's and a Q6600), if you count the HT "virtual" cores on i7's. So, how many are you crunching with?

It might not "exactly" double but you will be doing twice as many work units:rockout:

Only four, Q6600, at 100% all the time, except when I game I go to 60%. 24/7 by the way.
When I finish the Quadfather, it will be four more, as I will dedicate the Q6600 to crunch, and the other rig with the two cores (E6300) will come into play as soon as its reassembled and ready to run again.

Yup, we'll be sharing that pie slice from time to time :D

PantyHoser has sadly gone down after only a couple days of Crunching. Also, last week I had to take it off a different E6400 than the one I listed above, but I was able to install it on another Q6600 recently.

Just grabbed a PSU from work to see if that's the problem with PantyHoser, hopefully get 'er back up this weekend.

I know its not much, but for me

C2D p7450 (in my lappy so only days/weekends) x2
P4 3.2ghz HT x2 (logical)
P4 x1

So thats 5 if you count HT. Soon to be added an e8500 from boomstick360, so that will put me at 7, (havent sold my old gaming rig yet, so that one will still be around, the p4HT) once I get it up, a Celeron 3.2ghz if I can get the mobo flashed, plus some older ones that will sit in my closet 24/7.

So 5 atm, hopefully gonna be at 10+ in the next couple of weeks, though they obviously wont be putting out what the Q's and 7's are.
