I ordered a Geforce 9800GTX+ today, so hopefully it works well and I can start cranking out the WU's. $120 after rebate and a lifetime warranty!

The worst my 9800GTX+ returns is 4050ppd on the 511pt WU's. Most of the new WUs it delivers 5100-5700ppd. Excellent bang for the buck IMHO.

Thanks for the expectation. I chose that one over the GTS250 because I got it for $10 less and it came with the lifetime warranty instead of the 2 year warranty. Even if the GTS250 is a bit faster, it would be nice to have EVGA replace it after 5 years instead of buying a new one. I've had too many parts go bad and not have a warranty - so even if I never use it, it would be good to have.

I finally got the SMP client working on my q6700 CPU and the F@H monitor is showing about 2200 ppd. It was a pain to get setup, but it boosted my ppd by 4 times my average (and I'm not overclocking it either).
