Well... It took me a bit of scrounging for parts, but with the big batches of Fokker_Planck wu's coming through, the temptation was more that I could bear. First I augmented my main desktop with a second machine running a 5600+ dualie that I resuscitated from a dead HP I had in the recycle bin. It's now running in an MSI K9N6PGM2-V with a 2GB upgrade, new PS and case and a really sweet Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu for the 24/7 duty. Kubuntu 9.04 64-bit went in smooth and now it's crunching Aqua FP's right nicely:

Then I dug through the pile again and found an old Celery from another HP. It's still on the Top Deck because I haven't yet scrounged up a suitable case and the PS is a real P o' S. Kubuntu 9.04 again, this time IA32 variety, and Aqua FP's are providing the burn in:

Now I'm draining the pool to the tune of 20k+ points/day and just pushed into the Team Top 10

Not bad for 5 cores WAAAY off the leading edge...
