Welcome pmac to the team!
I agree with Nathan P's suggestions - especially that if you are running windows the gpu clients are the way to go in terms of maximizing points. And FahMon is a great tool - my only wish is that it could connect and monitor the PS3 somehow
Just for reference I have an ATI 4870 standalone that generates about 3200 points per day (ppd) on a Windows Q6600 box oc'd to 3 GHz which runs the Windows smp client at 2000 ppd, for a total of 5200 or so for that box. (I was running that box as a linux box before then with 5500+ ppd, so it was a wash after moving back to windows and adding the 4870).
This compares to another Q6600 (stock clock) box I have running 64-bit linux, where I'm getting 4600 ppd, and a E6200 chip running 64-bit linux that gets 2000 ppd. (PPD can go up and down depending on the projects that are being worked). If you want to maximize your cpu point production, run 64-bit linux. But even if you are running windows, whenever you have a chip with more than one core, run the smp client.
