The Linux Help and Tutorial Thread

Question: I have a dual Xeon 8c/16t (total of 32t) ESXi server. I am only using like 6t at present. If I create a 16 thread Linux VM to run boinc, will it put out numbers that are worth the effort?

I really wish there was a way to do WCG on the idle cores of an ESXi server.

Just for those that are curious, the system is a dual E5-2660 with 128GB of RAM. Only using 5 or 6 cores and less than 20GB of RAM, so wondering if this might be worth the effort...
