Stanford's FAH folding team How you can help research dieseases

Do you any of you fold? If you don't, I'd recommend it. It's a program that allows you to contribute to researching for dieseases without donationing money. The program recieves work from stanford, and sends it to your PC, and it uses desired idle process to fold.

What it does folds protein, and does calculations, for researching genetic dieseases. It is does not affect normal working performances, and would only take the CPU power that is not used.

You can create your own team for folding, and watch what ranking out of all folding teams you've contributed. I'm currently on Team NCIX, and I would mind helping a bit if you guys fold aswell. :)

I'd recommend the "no-nonsense" console program, as the graphical console uses some resources, and have conflicts with Radeon 96xx's series.

Very interesting to say the least. However think about this a virus that doesn't take over your computer just uses it to make the hackers computer better. Mass spread virus's would give that hacker well A SUPER COMPUTER.

LOL, you should check out XS's D2OL folding team pics. You see racks, and racks of dual processor Xeons just from one guy. And 8+ Celeron 500MHz, or even 7 Intel Pentium4s folding. It's amazing on how dedicated they're
