...he's now on PAGE 8 of the EOC stats page...

Just thought I'd throw that out there. My folding boxen:

Dell Dimension 8300 - Pickle Edition
3.0 GHz Pentium 4 'C'
2 GB DDR-400
250 GB SATA 7200 RPM HDD (system disk)
80 GB EIDE 7200 RPM HDD
ATI Radeon X800 XL AGP 256 MB

A Custom Built Computer
2.4 GHz Pentium 4 'C'
1 GB DDR-400
40 GB EIDE 7200 RPM HDD (system disk)
40 GB EIDE 7200 RPM HDD
ATI Radeon X850 Pro AGP 256 MB

Dell Dimension 4300 - Dell Stock Edition
1.4 GHz Pentium 4
256 MB PC133 SDRAM
40 GB EIDE 7200 RPM HDD (system disk)
40 GB EIDE 7200 RPM HDD
ATI Radeon 9600 XT AGP 128 MB

I wonder how long it will take to catch you if I start now? (I don't fold)

X2-3800, 2GB DDR2-667
X2-4200, 2GB DDR2-667
X2-4200, 2GB DDR2-667
TL X2-5x, 2.5GB DDR2-667

You probably wouldn't given that his ATI video cards would boost his PPD considerably.

Actually, I don't believe those cards give him anything in that department.

None of the boxes are dual-core, and his machines would at best be able to run GPU1, as those cards aren't up to GPU2. I know the 3800 is probably worth about 1000ppd, im sure that he could outpace him

My X2 @2.4GHz only does about 770ppd max, but they should still be plenty unless pickle is always able to fish those DBGromacs with all his machines.

Wow, I have no idea what most of you just said.

Also, I didn't think my ATI cards would help in any regard. I thought they had to be X1900's or above, these are only R300 and R400 variants...? Maybe I'm wrong. I'd be delighted if I was. I have some other machines, but I use those on a daily basis... I guess I could put F@H on my main machines as well. That'd probably mark up performance a good amount (I have two Core-based notebooks, one with a Mobility X1900, and a Core-based desktop with an HD 3450 soon-ish).

I've been reluctant to include my main machines in the great fold war because I don't know if I trust F@H's processor usage throttler during idle or active use. Do you guys notice any serious lag in games and/or general use by letting F@H run on your mains while you use them? Eh?

I haven't folded in a while (reinstalled Windows and have been waiting for a service-style SMP client), but back when I did:
the single-threaded client was seamless in everything except (very oddly) Far Cry on my A64 3200+. It introduced some lag into that. I didn't have any troubles running single-threaded clients (1 or 2 at a time) once I moved to my Opty 165. The SMP client put a bit of a hit on my games -- but I suspect that had more to do with the ram usage (~70 megs of a gig running FEAR and up, which really like memory) than processor time.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was the first line of a good joke.

OK, I can see it being the first line of A joke, but I challenge your to make it the first line of a GOOD joke.

BTW- I dropped a pickle in the foyer ealier this evening, and it didn't move at all. Not one iota. Not to the threshold. Not to the stairs. It didn't even try to make an escape through the vent. Nothing. So I'm skeptical of the whole premise from the get go.
