I just verified what I said earlier in this thread.
Last night I decided to bring my main flagship system back into the fold for a few days. It's quite a powerful system. I overclocked it first.
It is currently folding 2 QMD cores. 54 minutes/frame and 90 hours per work unit!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a lesser computer folding 2 QMD's at 24 minutes/frame or 40 hours per work unit.
Seems like a mild overclock is ok, but anything aggressive seriously degrades my folding performance.

Deathdealer. When you overclock the cpu are you running the ram at the same speed? My dual xeon just loves bandwidth when dealing with QMD, probably do to most of the workunit residing in the ram and not L2 cache.

To be honest I don't know. I'm using the automatic overclock and I believe it does alter the ram speed to give you the extra CPU speed.
