Will my computer be able to fold?
Specs are eon the signature.

yep, it will work. Just use the standard Windows Client. If it works on my P3, it will work on your computer

Max is a buddy of mine who's not on CF but I got him fold for us. (before he wasn't folding for anybody)

But his work will be going to my user name now.

Ill see if I can get my dad to fold on his computer as well to my laptop and core 2 he has a pentium d 820 and ill see if I can put it on his laptop and my moms laptop to. Those of course wont be on 24/7 but they will be on a lot.

Er, Im sure I can look this up on the interwebs but how Am I supposed to shut the SMP version of FAH down correctly? I cannot type exit or quit, and If I just Exit it, next time I bring it up it declares I've shut it down wrong.

Yep, he won't be folding 24/7 with the Pentium D 820, correct? If that's correct, you'll just want to run two standard Windows clients. You'll have to follow Jan's guide: http://www.computerforum.com/421904-post4.html (Note: This guide is only for computers that aren't running 24/7)
That's great about adding more computers! With your Core 2 you can run the SMP Client, though.

You can use Ctrl - C to close the client.

Guess what, guys! Today was the first time ever that we have one of each type of folder. Ie, one 1600+, one 1200-1600, one 800-1200, two 400-800, two 200-400, four 100-200, and 19 1-100, for an overall average of over 7000!!!! We have a total of 30 active folders, which is 13 more than a week ago. Great job, everyone! Keep it up.
