    I suppose you are right, it just seems like so much of a waste to not do so... Oh well, I'll just stick to the three I own, and maybe try and convince my father to do it as well.

    Well done Livy.

    If things don't improve I won't be passing anyone, I'm fed up of having my work lost by the servers, almost 1000 points so far since they introduced that so called "collection server". If I'd had those I really would be snapping at your heels.

What better way to put all that processing power to work than to use it for such a great cause!
    Don't do it. It's never a good enough cause to steal someone elses CPU power. It's a good enough cause to keep this honest.

    Now folding!
    Just started on my computer:

    Athlon XP 3200+ w/ 512mb RAM 24/7

    Will start with my gf computer tommorrow:

    Athlon XP 1900+ w/ 512mb RAM 24/7

    And in a few days when I finished building it:

    Athlon 64 3500+ w/ 1.5GB RAM (will be 24/7)

    I just had a question on the 64 bit processors. I'm using the newest version (5.03??) and I was wondering, 64 bit processors obviously pass data faster, but would are they eligible for the Gromac tweak i was reading about?

    I read about 30 pages of this thread, but I can't be assed to read another 14, it was just far to much...

    Ok, so it was a glitch I guess as the one that was gonna take like 20 years is now done, but I have something else that seems weird to me as well. It may just be because I've only done like 28 WU's, but, I just got a Amber Core. I thought it was just Gromac and Tinker... Oh well.
