My rigs are doing work with these VMs... I just don't know where it is going! Appears to be set up right, but the performance is even worse now!

Two different physical computers, each with a VM. One has other stuff going on - but the other doesn't. Both have completed a few sets of work and submitted them successfully. Just my points for the day have plummeted.

No overclock - stock cooling on i7 920.

Not sure how close these numbers are, but they seem about right. Should give you an idea of what kind of PPD you can expect with various cpu's and smp work units.

Also, this Bonus Point Calculator seems pretty cool. There's also a link on the bottom of the calculator for bigadv work units.

gee, I just use the notfred Folding CD. Do you think I should change to the notfredVM version?

Once I get a better cooler on that i7 920 I may just go to the CD. I want an OS so I can monitor CPU temps, as it seems 6 cores is the safe max right now.
