Yea the integrated graphics aren't going to do you well for any modern games. But it can play what you want there.

 

If I did the conversion right (in Google):

109.90 Euros = 169.32 U.S. dollars

That isn't bad.. but you're buying generation old technology. It's probably the cheapest dual core.

 

I don't know the prices where you are (with VAX and such), but I would prefer an Intel system for that money. And not buy on Ebay.

 

Tech Report's Econobox

Processor Intel Pentium E2180 $69.99

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L $89.99

Memory 2GB Kingston DDR2-800 $38.99

Graphics Integrated

 

Total price - $200 = 129.81 Euros

If you're overclocking to get better performance, Intel blows away the AMD chips.

Underdog11 is really adding points. Score of 13413 with 136 WU and rising!

Now Nvidia users can add their video cards to the Folding@home project. We know you're not spending all that time playing games with your video card. Use its processing power for a worthy cause.

 

Nvidia Folding@home beta client

 

Requirements: A Nvidia 8000/9000 series card (all those support Cuda which this client uses).

Reports of 8800 GTs that can go up to 4000 PPD (points-per-day), that beats the pants out of all other clients.

I guess this my update for June. Our team score right now is 188203 with 176 WU.

Our team ranking is 4303 of 126821. (Up another 2000!)

 

If you add your Nvidia card, we can reach our current point value in only 47 days! Another month and a half to double what we've contributed so far. Multiple people contribute, we can easily reduce that by multiple factors. Let's see how far our team can rank up.

Just wanted to mention that since yesterday Im aboard again.

I am also aboard, and folding away.

This is pretty cool

In another month, we can overtake most groups and get to the top 2000.

A year, probably into the top 1000 teams. Of course, the top teams have lots of producers, but even around the 500s, there are many teams we can overtake with sufficient time. It means, on our current trend, we are producing more than they are per day.

Our team has joined the ranks of the top 1200!

That means... user signatures

Join us and help the cause!

trailblder hasn't had any posts since 2004... but man is he trying to stay competitive on points. I'm running Core i7 overclocked SMP client + a Nvidia GTX 260 (216 cores) OC as GPU2 client almost 24/7. I only stop it for an hour or two of gaming.

He may just be active on forums of other SWR Network sites.

I've been removing the pins on some of our old "pinned" topics and locking the ones that no longer have any relevance. This project was something near and dear to one of our principal founding members, and so I just wanted to post the newer link for this project now at: https://foldingathome.org/
