for anyone confused by the dual smp discussion..... it's pretty easy to put some numbers on it.

We'll use my setup as an example to demonstrate:
I have 3 Q6600's@3.33ghz all Vista 64 running dual smp's and 8800gt's...

using an example of a smp wu 2665: (preferred deadline=144hrs)
-with dual smp's those 3 Q6600's can turn and burn 6 wu's every 30hrs.
-with single smp's they turn and burn 3 wu's every 20hrs...

what this means is:
-a dual smp setup nets me .2 wu/hr
-a single smp setup nets me .15 wu/hr
which of those rates benefits science more?
more wu's per hour OR less wu's per hr?


it's a pretty easy logical mathematical equation... the more efficient model wins (more wu's per hour).
intel quad = dual smp
(of course, unless you're in xp running gpu's, then the gpu core starts stealing cores from smp)...
(in Vista, the gpu doesn't steal an entire core, so I can also run a gpu client with dual smp's on my Vista intel quads)...
