I've got two older Socket 775 machines that currently have Celeron D's in them. They've been CPU folding for TPU for years, they are one of the first machines I brought online to fold for TPU actually. Well, now I'm doing a little maintenance on them, OS reinstalls as they are used as workstations at my store. Anyway, I figure, while they are down maybe I can do a little Folding upgrades to keep them in the game a little, since the Celeron Ds are exactly pumping out the PPD anymore(though they used to in their day!).
So I need two Pentium Ds, any will work, but I want them to be as cheap as possible! I need to get these rigs SMP folding. Now I know my P805s pump out about 1100 PPD, and the Celerons were at about 400 PPD, so moving to any Pentium D will be worth it. Let me know what you got, and what you want, but keep in mind I'm a little strapped for cash thanks to the holiday season, but it is going to a good cause!
Edit: I could also use something Core 2 Duo based, as I have a machine now running a Pentium D that could take a Core 2 base processor. So if you have something cheap that is Core 2 Duo based, Celeron E1000 series or an E2000 series or E4000 perhaps or anything really as I think the board will take anything up to a Quad-Core, let me know also. As I can move things around to make that work also.
Also, each machine has a PCI-E x16 slot. Right now I'm using integrated graphics, as these machines were build and put into service before GPU folding existed(well GPU1 might have been out, but we can just ignore that POS).
So I'm looking for any Folding capable PCI-E graphics card, and again, something cheap would be great. The PSUs do have a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector also, but nothing too power hungry please(unless you are going to give me a great price, then I work a few things around and get the GPU in a rig with a more powerful PSU).
So, let me know what you got!
Edit2: I should mention that for various reasons, there will be little to no overclocks on these chips, so being able to overclock well doesn't matter to me.
