MacRumors Team Folding

[rockandrule]

Well, I joined up guys. But errrmmmm.... now what? I'm just kind of confused on the whole project and what exactly I'm doing for it. But hey, I'm on the team!

I never understood the point of "folding". So pointless 🙄

Did you read the Folding@Home FAQ, including the first link to the Pande group site?

 

[rockandrule]

Yeah, I read both links but still don't really know what's going on haha. All I know is that it is for a good cause, so I'm down. Plus, their not testing on animals so it's a big plus for me.

I just joined up also, putting all those spare G4 CPU cycles to work....not sure how many I can spare, come to think of it. Now a MBP, that thing could FOLD!

 

[rockandrule]

Haha, yeah it could! I'm running my girlfriend's Dual 2.0GHz G5 on it right now. I'd use my PowerBook but it's only hooked up online every once in a while.

You don't need to be online to Fold. The only time you need to go online is to dl/ul work units. My PB 1.33 runs 24/7 Folding.

I could say the same about your post.

I think its a worthwhile endeavor. I happen to do SETI though, not folding. At least till I get 1000 units done on SETI. Thats my goal.

Both offcourse! First club the seal, then you have lunch, a nice seal sandwich! 😀
