Won't be too snappy compared to a new G4, but we'd love to have it. 50 extra machines is a nice boost...

Max speed of one P3-850, assuming on and cruching 24 hrs a day, is 766 WUs/day.
So for 50 it equals 38301/day
I'm assuming these would be running winnt4 or 2k. If they are, either you or your friend PM or email me at team@macnn.com for some really useful info on how to configure and install every computer at once.

Also, will these be going to the proxy?

Need to know anything else?
