Big improvement! Jumped from around 450PPD to about 560PPD both on the 98 point WUs. Good enough to scrap SMP, add a console client on one core and get a nice bump in points!

May I know what project that 450/560ppd came from? I have got some new data myself and I would like to compare notes, if it is at all possible.

A bit of rough calculations (correct me if I'm wrong):I've got an 8800GT and an 8400GS both running (in separate boxes) on the p5002_supervillin_e1 project. Each percentage point on the 8800GT is taking around 83 seconds, whereas on the 8400GS it's taking around 215 seconds. I also have a 9500GS running in a third box and it's turning a percentage point every 150 seconds.

Also, I get a brain cramp when I try to figure out what's happening on a ppd/WU basis.

Single instance of the single core client running on the dual core machine? Just confirming.

I just discovered there's something called a 9600 GSO and for a couple of more hours it's available at ZZF for $104 - $20 MIR, and it makes me wonder if it's worth it for folding purposes. The 9600 GT seems to do much better than your GS, yet specs show 96 SPs for the GSO, and 64 for the GT. I are contused.
