Thanks Chriso,

I'll be doing a lot of testing on Vista and i generally leave the machine on for days at a time, so i can help out quite a bit!

I did this too I have an old amd 550 that sits idle all day

[chriso_86]

Sweet!! Every machine can help, no computer is to small for such a task!

[Nvyseal]

wonder who can fold the most hours!

[David_Heavey]

Folding this minute Chris

=IBF2=raziel2710 is me (sorry for the cheap plug on our site (well, I'm not really))

[chriso_86]

Sweet, thanks man!

Hey, i been folding like a cheap chinaman at a dry cleaners and dont see any results. How long does it take to show up?

[chriso_86]

Well, some of them will take days to process. So, after that you will show up as a member on the team.

[David_Heavey]

Oi Chris ... stop folding for a bit ... I need to catch you up

[simon]

my 550 went down working on getting it fixed

[chriso_86]

LOL, Dave I am not going to let you catch up. You are goiing to have to work for it. I have my opteron 170 machine folding on both cores quite a bit, not 24x7. Then I have my IBM laptop folding on both cores pretty much all the time! Then I have a 450mhz machine working on some, my music server is crunching away with like 1.4 ghz, and my machine at work is crunching away at 2.6Ghz.

Being a cancer survivor myself ( Hodgekins Lymphona) i would love to be able to participate myself as i do have a desktop sitting hear just collecting dust ... BUT due to living arrangements i really cant do so ....17 year old that has the curiosty of a cat when a puter is left on ... and room mate that gripes about every bit of utilities that are being "wasted" ...makes it kinda touugh ...


Once living arrangements change ( within the next couple months ) i will DEFINATELY be participating in helping to find a cure with Folding@home...

So in the mean time ... from a cancer survivor .... to those that are avidly participating in helping to find a cure .. Thank you muchly )

[chriso_86]

Wow, thanks for the incouragment!! Glad you made it through ok! Can't wait to see you start putting numbers up on the board in a few months!
