In the like 10 years this has been running has it actually discovered anything?
Pretty good way to utilise your machine i think.oh so you turn your computer into a whore basically giving yourself out to help cure diseases![]()
Yep, ive considered getting involved in it myself.It's a fun way to utilize your machine for a good cause
i wonder about this, so how exactly does this program 'help cure disease'?
I believe that the client can be switched off, say for instance you wish to do a bit of gaming, or something more cpu intensive, ie video editing/encoding/photo editing, as you say the machine is running anyway, so while your web surfing you can run fah. Im no expert on the subject but i do think its a nice idea.why not? Your helping with the medical research for a couple of pence per day, even less if you ofset the cost due to the fact that it would be running anyway, and lets face it most members of OCUK have powerful rigs, how many hours a day do you utitlise the full power of your machine.
You dont have to run thousands of pounds worth of dedicated hardware, I have very cheap hardware in comparison to most yet im still fairly high up in the list of top folders on the team.
The competition and banter between members and teams add to the fun aswell
you realise how big the difference between idle and load is right? its around 3-4 100watt light bulbs for most people with top spec machineswhy not?
