Folding@Home

[krnmastersgt]

Well after seeing how many members in the AT forums were actively folding I decided to join in, just to get a rough idea how many people here actually fold? Any AT Teams I could join? 😀

Edit: I just saw a video about folding yadda yadda yadda and then I noticed when I saw the teams ranking a team called Team Anandtech was a few places behind them, anyone wanna give me the team number?

Bump with an update, someone give me Team Anandtech's number D:

It's the best way to actually put my overpowered CPU to use when I'm not gaming... and justify the overclock! 🙂

If you know anyone who has cancer or another genetic disease you should do F@H. I first started folding as a way to stress test my machines. Since I started folding 3 years ago my father has developed skin cancer and alzhiemers and my mom has started showing symptoms of parkinsons disease. As i watch them deteriorate with very little that the medical profession can do to cure them I have taking on folding as a passion, running 2 or 3 machines 24/7, feeling thats the least i can do for them and anyone who may develop diseases that are currently incurable. It also helps me justify buying new updated processors. So if you care about anyone with incurable diseases or if you yourself are worried about possibly suffering the same in the future, get on the Folding at Home bandwagon. It's good for your karma.
