XGrid for running Folding@Home?

Has anyone tried using XGrid for folding? I'm not that familiar with it, and even though I've read the instructions, I can't seem to get it going. Is this something that should be done with XGrid Blast?
 
We had another thread about it her somewhere and our conclusion is that it wouldn't work. One proce has to do one WU. With FAH you can't hack the WU in little pieces and distribute it to different processors. The outcoming from one piece of the WU affects the next.

It seems someone has got it working... but I haven't seen any proof that anyone else has gotten it working. The only way to find out is to play around with it...

He didn't mention that he returned it to Stanford, that the results were correct, and got credit for it.

If the results aren't correct, why bother wasting the processing power?

Stanford has done some research on it, but they also need a solution that runs everywhere--XGrid doesn't.
 
Oh well, I guess I'll just stick to one processor for now 🙂
Hopefully they'll come out with something that easily works for it in the future.

What high rating? If you're talking about the Apple folding@home team, they've constantly been at the bottom of the Mac teams. Have they changed recently?
