It's a Dell Studio 1555...it was never really designed specifically for gaming, but she holds her own quite nicely. I max out TF2 and Call of Duty 4, the games I play the most.

You should be ashamed of your ppd. I have a 4870, which has about a quarter the ppd of your 9800GX2s, and my 920's at 3.6GHz, but I'm still getting 13k ppd (theoretical, I only leave my computer on 10-12hrs a day). Run some VMs, VMWare has released a new version of their software which gives you 4 cores per VM, it boosts ppd about 25% over running 2 2-core VMs (which in itself is about a doubling of ppd over WinSMP).

I don't have the computer on all the time, about 16/7, running two four core vms (in addition to the four gpu clients). Unfortunately I'm not the one who pays the power bill. The person that does clearly stated the computer goes off at night.

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
Also, I use the word "also" a lot.

That still seems a little low. You should be getting, with the clients that you say you have, at least 20k ppd. How much do you get from your VM clients?
