I haven't read into it much but it seems like a great cause. I've only got an 850MHZ processor (though I'm in the process of building something better), and I'd only be online for a couple hours a day. Also I didn't see a FAQ or anything that says how to get started.
 
Just a note: You will want to fold timeless work units if your 800mhz proc is only on a few hours per day.

Make sure that when you start you do that. :)

It does not matter how long you are online for. It matter more that your PC can stay on and "Fold" during the time that it's on. The computer only needs to get online once in a while when it finishes a Work Unit to send in the results and download a small new file to work on. (With a 850 Mhz I say it will only need to get online every 3 days or so for about 5 minutes.)
