Thanks

what exactly does it do?
Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases
What is protein folding and how is folding linked to disease? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery.

how does it help anyone?
i think it is answer in the previous question

what does my computer do to help?
your computer crunches data while you not using it
you can either set it up while you are on screensaver or all the time
up to you

what exactly does it do?

Folding@home runs experiments on how proteins fold. It's done this way because while the particles examined are small, the computing power required is very large.

how does it help anyone?

Knowledge on folding helps projects on anything based on proteins, so its effect is big.

what does my computer do to help?

It downloads a work unit and starts using up spare CPU cycles. Normally it puts your CPU at 100%, but there should be an option to reduce that if your CPU cooler isn't that great or you don't want to pay a bit more money per month. It's like keeping a 60w lightbulb on 24/7, if you keep folding running 24/7.

Thread stickied, we need more people folding.

good explanations, thank you very much rtb, and just

ha ha this is funny i have a Pentium 166MHz running it 24/7

[Swimmer]

that is what a lot of people do.. get an old machine and run it 24/7 or as close as you can.. just make sure it is secure and kept up todate!

Too bad things are so bad that you cant even run something as powerfull as this , W/out wondering whois riding your a** in or out! sad sad world of net we live!                                                                   






                        no comment needed ,...................................if your children could possibly benifit from this in the future is the only way you could understand why the people who are heading this project do what they do!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Richcornucopia, Its very easy to forget , because the program can be made to run in the background, so theres no need to ever think of it. Of course in my case its like a competition.....!So I'm on top of it!

[richcornucopia]

You will need like 20 cpu's to catch up to Junque  .
