I have been a long time reader of TR and have been facinated by the entire distributed computing effort and UGN's participation in this effort since I first read about it. I finally decided to get off the bench and take part (rather late than never I suppose), so about a week ago I decided to have a look at the fah GPU2 client to see just how productive a GPU could be and what impact running the GPU2 client would have on the rest of my pc usage. Surprisingly it has had very little effect at all to normal pc usage and my 8800GT has been contributing about 3500ppd to the UGN effort for the last week. My pc is online virtually 24/7 I will leave it folding in UGN's name. I will hopefully be adding my server, once it has been rebuilt, to the effort in the near future

I got two dual opteron workstations runnin 2 instances each of the standard linux client (can't do 64 bit I'm afraid, I tried it and it didn't work), and one dual opty running the smp client with both cpus chuggin away.. for a total of somewhere around 12ghz of good 'ole fashioned K8 power. Hope it helps!

I should have mentioned that those two were my current GPU2 clients. I have six others that are running the CPU client:
S754 3000+
AXP 3200+
AXP 2500+
AXP 2400+
P4 3.0 w/HT
P4 2.66
As a side note, the Quadro doesn't fold for crap, even though it is identical to the 8600GT with exception to the clock speeds. Sadly, the 8400GS is faster.
Should be good for close to 3000 PPD when all are active.

Our PPD is doing very well today. It appears you figured out the multi-gpus.
