If I wasn't doing SETI@home I'd be doing
Folding@home

I have never heard of the folding study. I'm going to tell this to my department tomorrow and see if I can get them to load it.

I've been doing folding@home on 5 machines for several years now, I'm up to 780wu's. I'm working with the MaximumPC Folding@home team. # 231 on the team list. (That's out of 5000 people and groups on the MPC team). Yes, definately, join the folding@home project!

Currently [H]ardOCP is in the lead of team folding, with 3867031 Work Units, MPC is in the #6 position with 1070984 WU's. We're both way ahead of big corporations like Hewlett Packard (#50). So it just goes to show, Power Users and modders do more to help than big corporations.

Oh, hey, I just discovered, I'm the #1 folder with the word "Infinity" in their name. haha

I'm running it on one linux box and about twenty windows boxes. Trouble is, the Windows client can't handle the computers being shut down every night, so they start over again in the morning.

Only the linux box works correctly.

[The Modfather]

Why shut them down? I never turn my machine's off. I turn off the monitors but I let 'em keep folding all night. It's when they get the most work done.

[xmastree]

Because we close the place up at night, and turn everything off. Even without turning them off, they crash often enough to reset the folding. United devices never had that problem...

Run the console version, not the graphical one. It seems to be working a lot better.

What is hardOCP's group #?

[xmastree]

I've been running it as a service, so there's no graphics anyway. Maybe I'll try the console, see if it works any better.

[The Modfather]

Team [H]ardOCP is #33
Team MaximumPC is #11108

Positions 1 and 6 respecitvly.

I found the hardfolding website and I'm amazed at some of those peoples folding farms.

I've installed it on 2 pc's at my home, and 3 pc's at work.
