I'll even let you have a chance. I have taken one of my machines offline. :)
 
I've just joined in the fun...

Cpu=P4 2,5

Errr, dumb question: I've got a laptop so I won't let it on 24/7 (more like 16 hours a day) because I don't want it to overheat... Is that bad? :unsure:

Right click on the Icon, select Configure...

In Advanced, you can set the CPU Usage Percent. Turn it down a little if you find your laptop is overheating.

But if it doesn't overheat running 16 hours/day I see no reason why it would if you run 24/7.

Edit: BTW, welcome on board.
 
I've joined too and will let this run at all times, unless i'm gaming. I've also had UD Agent running for a while now which helps in cancer research. My computer is running 24-7, and i'm not even at it most the time so why not use up some clock cycles.

Well done jaigandhi5, for promoting this.


EDIT :- Athlon XP 2400 = 2gHz (let's not get into that one, ok :lol: (the geeks here will understand))

I'll make a KLF forum sig as a supporters banner type thing tomorrow which people can feel free to use.

By the way, can you explain gromacs? ..

I installed the installer linked to in the first thread, set username and left running ... now it shows:

17/400 ..... 4%

Am I doing everything right or is there more to it?

go to the second page there is a guide on it :D ;)
 
The Folding@Home client (console or screen saver) shows real time visualizations of the protein simulations being performed. The molecule drawn is the current atomic configuration ("fold") of the protein being simulated on your computer

There are also many other distributed computing porjects like seti@home (involved in the analysis of signals picked up from space) and fightaids@home.
