If I had 3,135.04 dollars I would jump on that action. I have zero dollars so my P4 2.6Ghz will rack up a million points in 10 to 20 years and for the cost of 1000+ dollars in electricity. Fortunately I got the P4 machine for free!

I have other hardware that I need to do CPU burn in on so that helps out my ppd!!!

This fall I am hedging natural gas on New York Mercantile Exchange hoping that it goes up through the fall buying season. If it does then good news for me. If it doesn't oh well back to the drawing board. Yes it is a little complicated but if you buy options you don't need 3000 dollars to get started. If the winter repeats like last winter than I can do something but so far it hasn't.

Did you just discover the joys of spread sheets and have run a-muck?
 
This information and the following table was based on musky's post which is a great guide to making intelligent decisions about folding.

I am only providing different views on the same data really.

Ironically, my post does not include the best bang for the buck out there - the L5640 ES

You should get a minimum of 2 rigs, but I would start the wager at 4 rigs.

No. This thread tells you what kind of production and what kind of costs are associated with various rigs.

It also tells you that a SR-2 rig can cost you almost $1.50 a day to run, and a Athlon II X2 can cost you almost $0.50 a day.

More than a billion people live on less than $1.00 a day.

And for about $1.00 a day some charities claim to provide a child with:
Clean water
Nutritious food
Health care, including AIDS prevention
Educational opportunities
Spiritual nurture
Care for sick or dying parent
HIV and AIDS counseling

I will NOT tell you to do anything. Just presenting you with some numbers to help you make informed and hopefully better decisions for yourself when it comes to folding.

EDIT: For myself I chose to spend $200 on a processor upgrade to improve my production to about 10K PPD at a small increment of operational and capital cost.

Hey AssM@N, no problem, but why dont you come out of retirement and do a little folding.

Even for a bit of time will help us push off EVGA.

Oh yeah, the SR-2 are big money...

I only was able to spend $200 on a AMD X6. You could always do that. OC the sucker and you will be getting bigadv in no time ;-)

I don't have $3,135.04.

Or even $640.00.

How many points can I buy with 18 cents?
