Well, the standard setting is to run BOINC only if you use an external power supply, anyway. Because you're completely right, crunching drains the battery rather quickly.
Does the "K10" include the quad (on die) core chips? Any news on the release dates for these quads?
Yes, there will be both dual and quad core (native) chips in the K10 line-up.
Expect server grade single socket chips by the end of the summer (so they say) and desktop chips hopefully before Christmas.
Dual socket (8 cores) systems should be available at the beginning of next year.
AMD has been reported to have had difficulty getting the frequencies (and yields) they want, so don't be surprised if these dates get pushed back.
There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. - Richard Feynman
