fahinfo.org is a database of collected Folding@Home project scores. The scores are submitted along with details about the CPU on which they were run. This information will show which workunits are best (and worst) for specific CPUs, and also highlight the differences between the different cores on the same CPU type. The more data collected and added the better, as this will serve to make the PPD/GHz values more accurate. You can lookup the work-unit (by project number) you are currently running to see how well it could or should be doing on your particular CPU, I might even make it recommend the CPU that you should be using for that WU. This site was written by and is maintained by me, Uncle_Fungus, and has been hand-coded from scratch in PHP and MySQL.

Now that fahinfo.org has been running for over a year, I've decided to allow registered users to add entries to the master CPU tables used by the site. This means that you no longer have to contact me to get new CPUs added to the lists, because you can now do it yourself.
Obviously there will be some sort of control, i.e. I get told whenever a change is made, but now there is no excuse not to add machines just because the CPU spec doesn't exist in the lists.
This also means that I don't personally have to go hunting around for all the different CPU specs, I can rely on you guys to do that for me!
Another minor change has been made to the edit machine pages, simply warning you that changing machine specs will unlink them from previously submitted scores.
I had another go at getting some nice anti-aliased fonts working for all the graphs and charts etc., but failed miserably again. It looks like I'm going to have to fix some major sections of the graphing library in order to get it to work on my production server (they work fine on my development server).
