I also put in an offer and they just accepted. Paid for it, now that I have committed what else do I need. Have a PSU but have never used Linux so can use any guides available. What can be expected as to PPD and do I need to change CPU. Will 20 gig HD be okay. I am sure more questions will follow.

You'll find pretty much everything you need to know in this socket F guide.
 
3P socket F MB?
 
Edit: should have grabbed the one above your post you'd be folding bigadv in no time, already has the hex core CPU's and is a good price for what your getting. Cost me around $350 for that same setup and those 8425's are getting hard to find at a good price.
20GB HDD will work fine.

Just payed for 2 of them there boards.

I'm looking to find a home for my set of 4x AMD G34 6166HE, these were retail and were able to OC to (257). This would be a excellent upgrade to anyone running 8-cores chips. PM me for details.

Intel X5660 hex core 1366 2.8ghz offer 180 he should counter 200$. These were selling for 450$ not that long ago.
I had a dual socket board and memory, my old cpus would not make deadline at stock.
They say these will so I ordered two.

I am not sure what the speed is, when I do sudo clockspeed I get an error.
It is an Asus Z8NA-D6C board with intel chips.
Not sure if the folding appliance is just set up for SM AMD setups.
Temp command does not work either. That gives an error too.
It's folding away and the fans ramped up and the heatsinks are just a lil warm and the air coming off is not hot.
The high temp alarm is not beeping so I am not worried. I will check Asus webpage in the AM. and see if they have a package for linux
tpf is 28:04 last I checked so I would think it is running @ 3ghz since it is 30 sec faster than what you had @ 3ghz.

The AMD commands don't work on Intel chips, you'll need to get i7z.
You can download the zip type file and place those files in a folder "i7z" do a "make" after a CD i7z in that folder.
or you can download the Pre-compiled Binaries 64bit version and place it inside your Home folder.
this should let it run from any terminal window with: sudo ./i7z_64bit,
and you could do like I do I just rename it to i7z_64bit to i7z making it simpler then sudo ./i7z
 i7z will show you temp and speed plus load.

I had just setup Mint 15 last week on one rig and used the H fahinstall but didn't see i7z as part of the install.
i7z was the 1st things I downloaded and installed like normal, it may have been in the root file system or
one of its folders I didn't know so I didn't look before setting up i7z.
 
Next time I do a clean install I'll have to see if I can find it before hand or just try the sudo ./i7z command from a terminal.
Did you locate where its installed to? Not that it really matters I'm all set for now. I only did a clean install of Mint 15 to try it out.
Doesn't take long to setup i7z or many of the things I use now as I'm getting around in Linux fairly well these days.

It's jackpot time!
