That's 5 CPU WUs, 1 ATI WU, and 1 NV WU all running simultaneously lol. No it wasn't intentional, yes it's since been fixed (CPU back to just POEM for now), and yes both GPUs still crunch. Not even using an app_info on that machine any more since the 6.10.13 server code went live on Collatz. Just fire it up and it sorts out the rest (like making an ATI and NV card both crunch at once). It's sweet! 
I'm trying to find more 8400GS. They're junk, only do about 2,000 points/day (takes just under 6 hrs to do a WU the HD4650 in that box does in 23 minutes), but they're a PCIe1x card so I can fit 2 more in there. I only want it for the amusement value of seeing 3 NV WUs running with 1 ATI WU running too hehe.

Collatz is an important project since it is part of the Vault now.

I still get way less points from Collatz than MW. My HD4870 is doing 80k/day by itself in MW.
Getting almost exact 1/second from Collatz on the 4870, and almost 1.2/second from MW. Seems like a trivial amount, but that's a 17,000/day difference.

Go on, admit it - you're just a great big cuddly credit-ho.
Just like the rest of us, which is why all my shrubbers are running a dozen FreeHAL at a time (uses not a lot of CPU and take between 1½ and 2 hours for 12 x 12 cobblies), plus some NFS@home (pays ~ double requested credit, but uses up to 400MB memory). And as we pass the 9th hapless victim in Poem, I'll move them over to Docking (which is paying pretty well at the moment) until the next PotM is rigged, sorry voted for in a totally fair, honest and transparent manner.

Oh I've admitted it lol. I have no shame.
I do love Collatz though, since it lets all my crappy vid cards play along even if it's for "minor" credits. On a good day they'll do 50k points, and my HD4870 80k.
I'm still hoping that at some point this year I'll be able to get a 5850, and move the 4870 into the X2 550. Debating what to do in regards to my PC, since the new system this year is almost certainly not going to happen.
What I'm debating now is upgrading my Q9300 to a Q9550 (more cache and supposed the 9550s overclock well), and upgrading the 4870 to a 5850. Not sure yet if the CPU upgrade will be worth the money or not, but it's not a system that's going away even when I get a new one so it's not totally wasted money.
