Anyone do any Folding @ Home? I've picked it up again and I'm not getting good results with a 3 year old laptop and a 3 year old desktop. Thinking about getting a Nvidia GeForce 9800GT and a new power supply for the sole purpose of folding.

QUOTE (THECHICKEN @ Apr 7 2009, 08:37 AM)  So do they give rewards or coupons or something, for letting them use esources on peoples computers? A lot of those overclocking and tech forums have prizes that they will give away. You can join those teams to try to win something, but if you have a computer that is just powered on for a majority of the time(IE while you are sleeping or at work) it doesn't take up much resources to contribute. There are results that have been published. I think it is a worthy cause. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548
