AUDT: Does anyone run Folding@Home?

Hi all.

Does anyone run Folding@Home? If you are interested in donating your wasted cpu cycles, join our Folding team.

I recommend downloading the Console mode and choosing to see the advance preferences. You can change your status update time as well as how much CPU stuff you can donate.

If you have a x1600, x1800, x1900 series card, you can get the special GPU version which will spit out things faster.

Have fun!!

true this will use "idle cycles" but it will make your power bill increase like mad.

So it's really a devilish ploy to put more money into the pockets of the utility companies?

Yeah. I've been running it for awhile. The peeps at Stanford just developed a GPU and a SMP version. They say that the SMP version will be about 4 or 5 times faster than the single core version, while the GPU version will be about 20x or 30x faster.

Hatteroo, no money scheme here. I run the console more or less the whole day. Check out the site. It is an interesting read.
