Thanks. Well, I am running one instance of the nVidia GPU client and one instance of the single-threaded CPU client. Using Windows XP Pro SP3. How do I find out my ppd per each client?

Thirty Mega congrats, JP! Ya made it look easy.

I'd like to get rid of at least 2 of my machines, including my main one which has become less reliable because of its extended lifespan, and replace them with something with greater output but using less power. I'm just not sure what the best idea is, not having kept up well with what's current and what's being released when.

I think by far the best bang for the buck/watt is running the BIGADV units on an SMP client in UNIX. This would be with an i7 CPU overclocked. You'll need:
i7 920 or 930
X58 mobo (Newegg often has an ASrock mobo open box for around $100)
6GB of ram
This will do more than 20K PPD.
If you want to go the videocard route I think the GT240 is the best bang for the buck/watt. It gets about 4000PPD and uses about 40 watts over the idle power draw of your PC. (100 points per watt)
