Yea I was going to say that as well. It could take half a day sometimes several days. It all depedns on the size and your level of activity

It all depends on what packet you are working on. The newer packers are much larger than they once were.

Like this one? I don't keep it running 24/7, so it'll probably take a week. **** me. http://66.49.186.190/images/folding.png

Death - you should run the one click, and download EMIII. The one click folds faster than the graphical, and EMIII can tell you everything the graphical can without hurting performance

That's also a 600 point wu that take's me 48 hour's to fold when only folding is being ran.

Like I said in another thread, problem is this WU had already started when I was recommended to use the one-click exe. I'm afraid I could lose this one.

Don't worry about it. Someone told me in another thread that the graphical client doesn't hurt performance except when the window is open and even then the hit is marginal. it can wait for this one to finish.

Yes I oculd be wrong but with a graphical client it dosnt have to load anything extra unless you have the windows open, so really they should be around the same. Both just load your desktop unless of course you keep it open. Also its still images right? Not like a 3d model or is it a model?
