Probably because it's an effortless way for people to contribute to medical research, and be competetive in a friendly way with people in the community.

Are you going to join in with the team?

You can have F@H only run at say, 50% CPU usage, that way it wont be under full load.

I looked over the next 800 teams, and there are only ~6 teams that we can't beat with time in those 800. We just need more people to join!

There's pretty comprehensive instructions for setting up the two version available in this thread. If there's something you can't follow, just let us know and we can try and explain it better. To start with, the graphical version is the easiest to set up, but if you get game problems when running it, the console version solves those problems.

It'd be great to have you folding with the team.

It's simulating proteins (in the human body) changing shape, to help scientists work out why diseases are caused.

Is it not clear from that thread?
