Some of the older 775 mb's don't support 45nm quads. From what I've seen a stock q6600 will get about 5-6k ppd, and a q8200 will get about 4-4.5k ppd. But the q8200 will use less power, and does not have virtualization.

It really is not meant for anything aside from everyday use/multi-tasking. #5

Imo the Q8200 is a nice quad but it's crippled not in the same league with the Q6600. BUT see if you can find either a Q9550 or a Q9650, they run cooler.

I think the Q8200's hindered by a lack of cache and a lack of chip speed at 2.33. Q6600 may be 2.4, but it has an 8MB total cache. #10

When you say stock, do you really mean stock clock rates, or do you mean with overclocking but stock heatsink and fan?

Right now according to HFM im getting 4.9k ppd on a p7147. That's pretty high from normal.

I checked and its at 75%. I can't believe I've been folding all this time at less than full throttle. I did it so long ago that I forgot. Part of my motivation might have been heat too, since I was originally in a Dell case. :-/ I just bumped it up to 98% we'll see what kind of difference that makes :-D post edited by TheClassic - 2011/04/13 15:39:41 Inspiron 530 Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.40Ghz 1066FSB) w/Quad Core Technology and 8MB cache FoxConn G33M based Dell board 6GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz eVGA GTX 570 SC OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W Dell 20in E207WFP Flat Panel #15
