Been folding for TR utilizing only SMP cores since day one. Anyone else out there SMP exclusive?

GPU folding on Linux (what I normally run as my OS) was also problematic until (relatively) recently. So these two factors conspired to keep me from ever really getting into GPU folding...

In comparison, although not as powerful algorithmically, what level of heat do your GPU's produce versus your CPUs?
