Hey guys.

So, at my new job, they gave me a few PowerMacs to use. I can use them for anything, so I slated my dual-G5 for Folding@Home (in the process of maybe another dual-G4 1.4GHz or something.

So it's a dual-G5 2.5GHz w/ 4GB of DDR RAM.

And here's the question.
Can I somehow get two OSX PPC Clients to run simultaneously? SMP is only supported for Intel Macs.

It's a water-cooled G5 so I'm a little worried about the cooler. It's out of warranty so if it leaks, I'm SOL.

I can't wait until I get my other rig up running too. Then I'll be up to 3 SMP clients, a GPU client, and a OSX-PPC client. :D

I have a similar machine that is water cooled. I have been to cowardly to upgrade to the newest mac client so it's just crunching the old 5.* version. It gets warm but it's crunched for the last 3 years without a leak.

let them fold!
