Right..
A while ago, we had a thread about a project called Folding@Home. (Details can be found at http://folding.stanford.edu/). Ive held off posting this thread to give this forum priority on forming a folding team, but it seems alot of people either aren't interested or are folding for another team.
BUT....
I'm a mod on another forum. And we do have a folding team, and currently we are at position 127 out of thousands and thousands of teams. But we are about to have a spate of other teams overtake us.
Could I be cheeky and call on the services of people here to install folding on your machine and fold for us for a bit? :D
Basically, you can install it as a service, and it runs in the background at the lowest priority, and it really doesnt slow anything else down as everything else has a higher priority.
The details you would need are:
Download Page: http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html (Choose the \"Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista 'No nonsense' text-only console\"). When you install it, put Y to install as a service to have in run in the background.
Username: DC
Team Number: 11899
There isnt an actual install package, so make sure you put the file you download in its own folder somewhere before you run it, as it will create a couple of other files in the same location.
If anyone can help out, even for just a coupla weeks, it would be be really helpful. If you have a dual core (or more!! :D) machine, then let me know and i'll tell you how to install it so both cores get full usage.
If noone can help, then no worries, but I thought it'd be worth asking :)
