New to multi-GPU folding, quick setup questions...

[Caldezar]

Well my Dell order is on hold since Dell's corporate order system is screwed up. So I cancelled it altogether and ordered through my work's warehouse company. I'm still going to be running 2x GTS250's, but instead of XFX 512Mb cards, they'll be MSI N250GTS 1GB's. This is probably a better move anyway, as everything I've read says these cards run cool and quiet. Hopefully they fold well. they should be up and going by the end of the week.

Quick question:

Currently I've got 2x 4890's, and 2x GTS 250 1GB's on order. (Due to come in on the 19th) I'm wondering if I'd do better running a 4890 as the primary in each machine, then running a 250 as a secondary in each machine, constantly folding. Would that work? And in terms of PPD, would it work out to be the same as running them both in one machine?

It would be better to run the two 4890s in one machine and the GTS250s in the other.

I would just stick both 250s in one machine and let them fold.
