Join DU's folding@home team. Help us help find a cure.
Join the DU folding@home Team. It is an easy way to help your fellow man. All it takes is to download and install a client to your hard drive. All you need to do then is to make it a service (Windows) or a login item (Mac) and it will quietly run in the background. It will not degrade performance, and it secure. The only times it makes contact with the Stanford servers is when uploading data and downloading new data for processing.

For more info go to their home page at:
http://folding.stanford.edu /

Read the info. If you want to take part download the software here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html

If you want, join our team. when you set up your Folding@home client you will see where you can join a team. Type in the number 48157 and that will enroll you. This is not a requirement. You may want to go it solo, or you may want to be part of a team. Your choice. Taking part in this worthy project is what is important.

Here's our team page:

1. K&R
I started folding in December or so. It is really painless. There are a few things that I do that I have to turn it off for, but I start it right back up. Its something that you can do for research.

10. It's impressive
I just installed it over the weekend. I need to load an optimized version as it seems to be running on only one core. It also crashes after every WU. :shrug:

12. Not at the moment
Just got this machine running. But I am familiar with the console. Do you know if anyone has compiled optimized versions for quad cores?
