"Here it is everyone, your very own HH Folding @ Home Forum section!

Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback on the setup of this section.

Thanks!"

Info straight from the folding homepage....

Our goal: to understand protein folding, protein aggregation, and related diseases

What are proteins and why do they "fold"? Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out their biochemical function, they remarkably assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, remains a mystery. Moreover, perhaps not surprisingly, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious effects, including many well known diseases , such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, and Parkinson's disease.


What does Folding@Home do? Folding@Home is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. We use novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. This has allowed us to simulate folding for the first time, and to now direct our approach to examine folding related disease.


How can you help? You can help our project by downloading and running our client software. Our algorithms are designed such that for every computer that joins the project, we get a commensurate increase in simulation speed.


What have we done so far? We have had several successes. You can read about them on our Science page, Results section, or go directly to our press and papers page.

Well fellow PC enthusiasts, here is our chance to both make our site shine, and support a great cause at once! I, along with others strongly encourge you to join our Folding@Home team. It is very easy to setup, and only uses EXTRA cpu cycles. This software running in the background does not slow down your computer at all. Please put your extra cpu cylces to a good cause.

Support your Forum!!!

Heres exactly what you have to do...

Download the software Here

Team number is 32407

Put your username in(use the same for each machine)

Check out the Standford forum Here

Here is the link to the FAQ

Find out info about each project (how much is it worth) Here

Now, let the folding begin!!!

Folding Stats can be found using these links:

Extreme Overclocking Stats

Well done bro, I'm in. Hope others will follow.

Thanks.... i'm hoping to get a section on the forums for folding... for news, quetions, comments..that kinda thing, i guess we'll see if it takes off which i hope it will

TRY AND KEEP UP WITH ME GUYS!!!!

I'm rollin

yep i think im rolling too....first time iv done this!!!kewl!!

is the work server up tho?

my comp is "given'er"

I got 2ghz folding for us 24/7.

woohoo, i delivered the first WU for the HH team

i should be troned "HH Folding King"

I got 5.1ghz(3 rigs) of pure amd power going. Come on guys, i know yous have more comps

its just my main one(back up and runnin), my sisters, and my parents cookin

i noticed that this morning... punk! lmao, first one down

WTF!!! (way to fold)

i got to admit, i was allready folding that one, but changed the teamnr @ 330/400

lmao.... nice move

2 of my rigs were already folding... but they were still in the begining of the WU when i switched them to our team

I've got 5GHz worth of CPUs folding as we "speak"...I'll work on a graphic for the Team page, and will find a spot on the main page to pimp the folding team also. I'll get Dave to create a new Forum section as well...

FYI, I plan on thoroughly kicking all of your asses I'm thinking of changing my name to BigWU...hehe

ooooooo...bring it on punk!!! i got a few things up my sleve

awesome dude... i mentioned to jay about makin us a banner, and the section would be wild

*fold* *fold* *fold*

i turned my first one late yesterday i think... but i'll have 2-3 more today hehe

we went from mid 4,000's place to mid 3,000's hehe, keep it going

we need more folders!!!

i checked my stats... i've done 323 WU's total, and 1 so far to HH, with many more to come!

dude, you should just blame folding for your crappy 3DMark scores. Heh your card couldnt handle 20k punk. Check out Ray's setup fellas

dont mind the site, its not finished so none of the links work and I havent redesigned it yet

does anyone one know how amd compares to intel in this?

PS: I'm still @ the lead, and only using 2Ghz of pure AMD power

Just so everyone knows I am folding under the name Benn7216, since Ben is my name.

I heard AMD folds better then Intel but I am not sure.

Also once we break like 4000 work units, I think we can make it to the top 100.

That's right...The Ol' BigWop has cranked out 3 WUs already! I've recruited a few friends, and will get all of the guys on the site to contribute as much as they can.

We're very late to this "game", if we're able to break into the top 100 it'll be one heck of a feat.
