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.

Fixes have been applied to the WU Search page in order to stay current with the server status designations given on the stanford serverstat page.
A graphical glitch has also been fixed that makes the display work correctly on large resolution monitors and when the server status is misinterpreted.

I'm doing some fiddling with the charts and graphs at the moment. Unfortunately I have to do this on the server, since the changes made locally don't always have the same effect when transferred to the server for some reason.
Some of the graphs might look a little weird whilst I'm doing this.
Edit: Okay, I've stopped editing it server-side. Nothing has changed

KillerBeagle pointed out a bug in the machine name detection system which I've corrected. I've also gone through the code and validated all the XHTML. The entire website (public side) is now w3c compliant so should render correctly on all compatible browsers. There are a few bugs in some of my news articles, so the home page might not validate yet. I've also added a paypal link for donations to contribute to the hosting costs - I am not expecting any donations, but I've put it there just in case.

fahinfo.org is now fully SMP capable.
Before you submit any SMP cores you will be prompted to update your registered machine configurations :: There is a new option for selecting how many SMP cores are used in that configuration. For example, if I had a quad opteron rig, consisting of 2 dual core opterons, I would register 1 machine, with a dual core opteron as its CPU and input 4 into the SMP cores field.
At the moment the beta SMP client can only create 4 threads, so if you have 8 CPU cores you will need to run two clients. (In this case you can register 1 machine with 4 cores and use it for both clients since they will be identical).
I've also updated the OS requirement field, you can now only select 1 of 3 options; Windows, Linux or OS X. I've narrowed the choice down simply because the field is only there for informational purposes as it has no effect on the scores generated. I've added a new graph that shows the OS distribution across the submitted scores.
Next on the upgrade list is enhanced filtering of the score lists to make it much easier to find the data you want (I can now use the OS data sensibly too). This upgrade will most likely be months in the future depending on how much free time I have.

There have been a couple of data fixes recently, most notably for the Denmark/Toledo Cores of the Dual Core Opteron which got broken when I updated some CPU selection code. All the data that appeared to have gone "missing" (since the options for that data no longer existed) have been restored.
I'm currently working on making the site fully compatible with SMP cores, and updating the operating system handling code.
