FOLDING AT HOME is cool

[computer_tom]

it is really cool! i turn the program on when i go to bed and turn it off when i wake up. it is a protien maping program, distributive computing. you help to "understand the structure of proteins so they can develop better treatments for a number of illnesses." so if anyone would try it i say it is worth it! also join my team "9876543210".


go here to get the program http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

I agree...it's a brilliant idea and something everyone should get involved with

OK, you posted it, and I'm going to say that that was unnecessary because the post is useless, and we already have a folding team (12864) AND a sticky dedicated to it.

But since this thread is going to call attention, I might as well call attention to the fact that, at the moment, TF's folding team kinda sucks. We're not even in the top 500 anymore, which is sad. Why are more people not folding? Are they already tied to other teams, or are just scared? Or too lazy to take the two minutes to download F@H and install it?

I was into it and SETI but then I just uninstalled them.

It's normal for it to make your PC slower, it uses any spare system resources and dedicates them to folding...so basically it keeps your CPU under 100% load

I joined another folding team before I came here so that is why I'm not part of TFs folding team

Well, just turn down the amount of CPU power it uses.

Wait, I actualy have it running on a 1.9 Ghz Dell, but my family doesn't use it often so I don't really get any WUs done.
