Ok, I've been thinking of joining this team but I have a question first. Actually it's a couple of questions.

1.I probably won't be able to contribute THAT much becuase when I'm at school my comp's never on. So how small of a contribution is too small?

2.I'm assuming you can but just to make sure can you run this program as a background program?

Yes it runs in the background at a low priority. So it uses whatever you are not using. It only takes a few hours to do a work unit. This can be spread over a couple of days. So anything will help. If you decide to join watch out because it can become addicting. Welcome to the overclockers.com Folding team:D

He's absolutely right...when I first joined it was ONLY for helping find a cure for alzhiemers....but now I'm worried about playing games and using those cpu cycles for something other than FOLDING ! hehehe gosh if we weren't in such a tight race with the Aussies I'd love to play a game...maybe tomorrow..er wait i work after church and then I'll be too tired to play like tonight(4hrs sleep + 19 hours of work[two jobs]) very tired, but tightly wound and ready for sleep. If I had my amd k6-2 300mhz running it'd be folding, but my spare super 7 boards are all fried.

OK. Ok. Let go of my arm. I'll keep folding. ;)

We could start a 12 step program for DC addictions.

I think we can. I think we can. I think we can, get the #1 spot back from the Australian team.
