Well, it's a 400MHz machine...I don't think it will go any faster

This WU has 250,000 steps, and I'm on step 72,500 right now. I can see it progress throughout the day...

Ok that's a different story then

Glad to see you helping out. I wish more members would join the effort now.

i've been using the console version without the gui, to me it seems quicker. But you do lose the ability to pause freely and specify cpu usage

i have 2 machines running this now, i'd put it on my media center but its passive and may overheat

, id put it on my printer server laptop but it in a cupboard and may also overheat. Damn i need more machines!!

And the team need more members JOIN IN THE FUN

Yeah which is why I only fold on one core. I did set up two instances for a few hours but it got to noisy.

2 procs will have to do for now, I might get the better cooling by Zalman in the future though.

Yeh, it's a Stanford University organised project. It has been known to be purely scientific and does not do anything else than what it should. It's therefore, as tweaker said, safe.
