yes faster computer = faster folding....to an extent.

if you want to get serious, it's all about Opteron (or Itanium)

folding = F@H = Folding at Home

http://folding.stanford.edu/

Basically, "Our goal: to understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases" Read the site.

I'm Folding for another team, I wasn' aware there was a CF F@H team. Regardless...

10 4W4K3 18082 83

I'm rank # 10 for my team, with 18082 score, and I have done over 83 WU's Not bad for a single Socket A machine.

In past experiences with folding@home, I have found AMD cpu's to work quicker.
