Vijay Pande quote from here:
"We are now testing the SMP client with Folding@Home beta testers (beta testers can find more information in the beta testing forum). The SMP client supports OSX/Intel natively (which means a major points boost for OSX donors) as well as 64-bit linux (with 32-bit linux hopefully to come soon). Windows support will come much later, as this is a very different architecture for porting than OSX & Linux."
Another quote from same thread:
"AMD 64 bit CPUs will work fine, although right now C2D has a bit of a speed advantage as it can do SSE 2x as fast as an Opteron. When Barcelona comes out, this will be evened out and I expect that dual-socket Barcelona (8 cores total) will blow away Cloverton in 8-way jobs (but we'll have to wait and see). "
This client will only run WUs made for it. They will get better points per day than running four regular clients on a 4-way system.
This will reduce protein project run time from years to months!

Mine are only dual socket boards since they are dual core CPUs in each socket. Just the same, we went with redundant power and cooling, so each server has a total of 10 fans.
