I forgot all about this thread *long time ago*, maybe we can get a few more people to join

Well i dunno if my PC will even run F@H, thought i'd try at least if there was a decent team to join. I can definetly join in May or June though if i get a decent laptop.

Nice, I've been thinking of this for a couple of years but never come around to set it up. I'll set up a machine or two next week and donate some cpu time.

good man,

The_other_one would be a good one to get on board, and he has shed loads of machines.

And of course i assume praetor has a couple, anyone else care to join, just go to http://folding.stanford.edu/
click download on the correct folder for you version of windows/linux/mac
then once down loaded you can specify the team number in the apps config page

If your worried about running your cpu too hard you can limit the cpu 100% for the app.
And the app doesn;t hog cpu cycles so you will never even notice it running.

Just a note, if your computer is old like mine or has limited graphics you should download the text only version. It's smaller and some claim it actually can fold faster, it won't lag your rig up as bad since it's just text, without any fancy protein graphics on your screen.

Wow,

.

I've been folding for 1-2 years with this software. Please don't trash talk what you don't understand and have never experienced. This is malware free, and is designed to try and help different disease research and the like...all at a free cost. The developers make no kind of profit besided kind donations from individuals, and have spent alot of hard work on setting this entire program up. You should be ashamed.
