most power efficent folding graphics card/cpu

[Geofrancis]

im looking for the best nvidea card that has the best folding performance-per-watt not the card that just uses the least amount of power.

at the moment im looking at the zotac 9600gt green edition that is supposed to use 40% less power than a standard 9600gt but tracking them down in the uk is like trying to find unicorn shit by the side of the road.

for the cpu i was looking at one of those 65w 2.33ghz q8200 quadcores or a 45w phenom but at 1.8ghz they are very under powered.

any other sugestions?

That all sounds like good parts. The 45w phenom's I am pretty sure are only for their servers (socket F) but I could be wrong. I haven't seen them listed in the US. You can get an s quad, but sometimes you an achieve similar results by underclocking a normal version. The q9550s in this case could be worth the extra money.

You are unlikely to find any of these items on these forums . You might be able to get a person to buy them here in the US though, and ship them to your country.

Have you seen this? It's kinda old, but has some good info.
The (actual, not updated 9800GTX+) GTS250 should be good with PPD/watt.

Are you using an existing PSU or are you gonna design from scratch?

well at the moment im running an atom 330 dual core in my server but i would like something faster that wont eat electricity. i would love a quad or 8 core atom but thats not going to happen any time soon.

the psu i would be using would probibly be the 200w psu in my morex 669 case but idealy id like to use the 120w pico psu i have got.
