[dwdrummer06]

i have signed up also.


1.35ghz i believe, and about 16 hours a day, sometimes more.

My main rig just got back online after 2 weeks of repairs.



Let me guess, im in last?

[Corinyy!]

Just a few questions;

1) Is there any risk to my P.C me running this? I normally leave it on overnight downloading is this roughly equivalent or does it use alot more CPU power to fold? MY P.C's not going to melt halfway through the night or die under stress?

2) If I wish to remove the program I can just remove it without any bits remaining and running after I have done so?

3) What is the information gleamed going to be used for? Is it just to be used by Standford University or the scientific community as a whole? Is there a chance that this insight into proteins allow people to perform nastier tasks (Stuff like cloning - I know this is DNA modification but proteins and amino acids often tie in pretty closely - or creation of harmful biological weapons)?

4) Is this actually worthwhile or will the whole thing be discredited in a years time when the scientists find there actually doing something a bit wrong and all this folding info is useless?

5) Are the pics on the user interface the actual pics of the protein being folded or are they just random images?

Lamsey....look out, Linx will soon be overtaking you... You will have to add another processor I am afraid :lol:

He he, I've already got another processor waiting to go into service as soon as I've got my water cooling sorted out (and a little more space). :lol:

I'll be 4th within the next day or two :P [/b]

88 points in it

are you going for 3rd? [/b][/quote]
Well, yourself and IC have three CPUs; I know yours are slightly better than mine, and I don't know about IC but he seems to do well, so I'll be hard pressed to catch up with you. I'll overtake Clocker at some point though :devil:
