BleepingComputer.com: Folding@home, Distributed Computing At It's Best

So, just as a matter of opinion, does one associate SAXON with BRITISH?

In General terms YES, Anglo Saxons are the English bit of Britain...... Although Anglo Saxon hardly accurately describes Our Mongrel Nation. We have more varieties in our Past than Heinz do. The Brittains (who were also rather a mixed up race moved to Wales on account of some Nasty Romans) Scotland was always so inhospitable so no one went there much, and Ireland was a useless Bog Land of small fighting Chieftains.

Personnally I am from the East so a memeber of The Bodica Tribes. i.e More mixed Blood.

SOOOOOOO........ Its easier just to say Anglo Saxon than say I am just another English Mongrel...lol

PS My Mother is South African, from German and Irish Parents.........Jesus Thank God they invented the European Community, it makes me fel a little more at Home.

Google had something similar to this in there toolbar... i use to use it along time ago... in fact my record from google is on this... but i just tried downloading the folding thing from there website, but my laptop is messed up as it is, and when i installed this, like 3 minutes after installing it my computer all of a sudden just shut off... i then restarted, and after like 3 minutes after logging in it restarts again, i keeps doing this, so then i just decided to uninstall it...

Ref Your Google item.........

Take a look at our installation instructions, found on the download page. If you are using an older version than what's on the download page, please consider upgrading.

Please check out our set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Another great resource for help about Folding@home is the discussion groups. The primary forum is http://forum.folding-community.org, a community-based discussion forum.

Google is now supporting Folding@Home. With Google engineers, we have integrated Folding@Home into the Google toolbar. You can activate F@H by going to http://toolbar.google.com/dc/aboutdc.html You can also check out their FAQ. Finally, if you're having trouble with the Google toolbar, you can contact Google support. Please do not contact them about non-toolbar related issues with F@H.


Intel has been helping support our project(Stanford/Intel Alzheimer's Research Program), but has announced that it is ending their contribution to distributed computing in general and no longer supports any distributed computing clients, including F@H.

If you experience a low amount of disk space after running this program for a few days. Simply delete the file C:\program files\Folding@Home\FAHlog.txt

The file is currently eating up 7Gigs! and I just had this for like 2 days. Please be aware of this file.

I've been running the World COmmunity Grid client for about a year now, and I would use this one if it wasn't for that. It wouldn't be practical nor beneficial to use multiple processor hogging programs at once, right? Oh well, I'm working for the same cause still.

Unless I am confused, and these are 2 different programs for the same database.

Come on guys. We currently only have 4 active people participating!

Say hello to another 38444 Teammate

I was going to do this a while ago... unfortunately when i first read the story, i was on my box at home. Now that i'm on my box at state, i'm going to run F@H whenever i'm at class or sleeping

Unfortunately, i can't throw my PC into 100% usage because it's noisy as a beast when it's stressed.... very noisy fan.....

Edit: Question: I have the gear running in my toolbar, and i (assume) that the program is folding (it is when i click on "display"). However, if i don't have the "Display" open, and i check my Task Manager, it says i'm not using any of my CPU's power..... So, does the program only work if i have the Display open, or as long as there's not a yellow cross on the cog? BTW: I currently have the Processor Percentage marked at around 50% in the Configure option of the F@H program.

Another Edit: It would seem that NCSU has their own folding team..... (currently ranked 95 with 210 users)......... now begins my debate..... should i join BC's team or my school's team...... And google has their own team? Ouch....
