I decided why let me AMD do SETI when my laptop with an Intel does it so much faster? I've heard that AMD machines folded a little faster than Intel machines, and have decided to give it a try.

Now just one quick question... about how long would a 1.5 GHz T-Bird (10x150) take to "fold" a protien? Right now for me it takes about 8 minutes 30 seconds to do a frame... is this about what I should be getting? Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the FOLD! Frame times depend on the protein that you are folding, there are many, some BIG, some small. Here is a link that you will find usefull in regards to frametimes:
