I fully agree with you. :)

Thanks. :D For me, its feels great to be able to participate in folding@home. When I was younger, I wanted to become a scientist but sadly, I didn't have what it takes to become one. :( Though I do not have the financial resources to build several dedicated rigs, I try to help by spreading...

Welcome to the team. :) Every contribution counts. As bholland2 mentioned before, its a worthy project and no contribution is too small. Thats a pretty good rig you have. Happy folding.

Plus those people whose old CRTs are starting to fail them. This includes me, my 15" CRT is going off pretty soon and I intend to get a 19"LCD widescreen. Another hole in my pocket. :(

Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean. Personally, I am not trying to nitpick, however, just want to find out whether it is possible to optimise my dedicated folding rig, or it is because of some other background tasks that are running that is competing with F@H for system resources? One...

Does anyone here have any idea how to determine whether we have received a large WU? By the number of points given, as indicated by http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html , or is there a website where a detailed explanation is given? I have been trying to find out what is Stanford's...

Welcome Enzo. Please feel free to post questions if you have any doubts. I have received a lot of guidance from some of the long time folders here. I am sure if you have any queries we will be able to help you solve it, as long as there is a solution for it. :)

I hope you will be getting down to your basement to do your rewiring soon. Would love to build another dedicated rig for folding, but I am out of spare cash for now. :( Our team has 2 threats now, Team Ukraine and Team ATI Technologies...

My guess is either Feb or Mar 07. Though I hope the earlier the better.

From what I've heard, currently there are no deadlineless WU's available. Not sure how true this is, but I did try to set the configuration for a laptop and was unable to get any for quite some time, when I set it to No preference I received a WU. I do hope that's only temporary, if not, it...

According to the FAQ, you can use dial-up. As for the data packets, as long as you do not select Large WUs in the Folding at home control panel, I believe the data packets will not be too big to download. However, I do not currently use dial up, so I do not know the average time needed for...

Afaik, only the latest graphics cards, such as ATI's X1900XTs, meet the requirements of the latest beta available for download at Stanford's website. Nvidia's cards are not supported now, due to some reasons which I am not very sure. At their url, http://folding.stanford.edu/faq.html you can...

Its definitely among my wishlist for late 07 or later, unless something better comes out around the time I am ready to purchase it. Partly due to the high price, as I never like to buy stuff that has just been released, due to the high demand and initial low supply. Usually I would wait for...

Imho, even if a new interface were to appear and replace PCI-E, PCI-E video cards will still be available for quite a while. Unless you have the patience to wait, if not, get a motherboard which has a PCI-E 16X slot. This board should be able to fit your needs nicely, since high end video cards...

I have to agree with cunning. Unless the office computers are running deadlineless WUs, they might not be able to met the deadline set by Stanford. I did a small test myself. When I reduced my CPU Usage Percent slider to 50% from 100% while crunching a P1809 Amber Core for about 5 mins, the...
