I'm curious as to what you are running for video specs on each machine.
The AMD should be cleaning the Intel's clock. Have you been keeping tabs on mem useage and VM usage?
I'd be interested in the difference in the two machines in that respect.

Laundry bump!
AMDs are Intels' slaves?
Intels can afford to hire AMDs?
Intels are inherently dirty?
BTW, even though I've got a decent graphics card, I've noticed a substantial performance increase (25% increase in folding speed) by using the console instead of the graphics client.
I think that I know the answer to this [no], but:
My G4 laptop started a new WU at midnight. It's at my place of work. I'm at home, and I'd like to know what WU it's now working on. Is there any way that I can find that out now online? Or do I just have to wait until I get back to work in the morning?

If you have Timbuktu http://www.netopia.com/products/technologies/remote.html installed you can ... :-) unlikely. If it finished the WU it will show up on your stats ...

We are down in production http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=36120
My G4 laptop is at [15:33:13] Finished a frame (61)
And my ThinkPad is @ step 86 - I have no idea what the point values are (running terminal and console) - sure hope we get a boost in our production monday.
Hmmmmm? Office machines that go offline over the weekend? Or is it a reflection of FReepers you dropped out due to last weeks dust-up?
good grief I need coffee: you = who.

Ever wonder why production is down sometimes?
At my home it was a rowdy bunch of high school and college kids who confiscated our computers for a post-Rose Bowl celebration.
Age of Empires III until 10:00 am.
I hear rumors that they will come back for more gaming before heading off to college. Good thing that the high school kids are already back on schedule.
Hard to fold much when the systems are gaming.
Regarding production, I wonder if a lot of folders might not be turning off their computers.
Here's something that's affected my statistics. For some reason, FAH opts to send my not-so-powerful home PC 400-frame workunits. The first one took nearly two weeks--but it finally gave me a burst of 239 pts. [I did turn it off a few times and also lost a night's work when my PC froze for reasons unknown to me.] Now FAH has sent me a new 400-framer, which will cause my PC-processor to have no points for about 10 days. So, it seems like I'm not producing.
On the other hand, FAH sends my G4 laptop 100-frame WU's that are only worth between 50 and 100 pts. that finish faster. I'd have thought my laptop would get the high-pt. value WUs and my PC would get the smaller pt. value. Whatever.
May I ask which Folding client you are running? I was running the GUI client on WinXP, had problems with games (Battlefield 2, Red Alert 2) constantly switching back to the desktop. Turned the folding client off, games worked fine. Wished I had figured that workaround out before selling my copy of Battlefield 2.
I use the GUI client on Windows XP SP2.
Besides switching back to the desktop, I also get a pixel format error. I may switch over to the console for the gaming computers.
We just broke the top 500!
