Folding Progress

What 4 pcs have you had running . Possable you've not added the team number to some of them as 4pcs should rocket your performance.

You can run whatever you like but I'm a folder so going to say folding lol

Edit once you have completed 10 wok units you'll then get bonus points for cpu work, you've done 6 so far so keep going :D

I'm still confused about what I should be crunching? :\ seti, f@h, milky way? :(

This is very much your choice. It's your computer(s) and your electricity. What DC (Distributed Computing) project(s) you prefer really depends on what type of science interests you. Do you want medical research, search for alien life in the universe, solve some physics or climate puzzle, find some weird mathematical answer?

F@h (folding at home) is medical research trying to work out how proteins evolve correctly or incorrectly and that might help to fight some diseases. F@h uses it's own distributed computing software taking advantage of CPU and GPU power. If you run F@h you can't really run any other DC stuff on the same PC.

Most DC projects like Seti, Rosetta, Einstein, Milky Way (there are loads) run under the the alternative DC software platform, BOINC. BOINC has an advantage as you can share your PC's crunching time amongst different projects so you can perhaps do three or four projects in parallel.

OcUK has teams for most BOINC projects as well as F@h. There should be sticky threads for how tos on both project types. F@h gets it's own weekly news thread at the moment, i.e. this one, encouraging participation, but stats also exist for BOINC stuff and quite a few BOINCers (if there isn't such a term, there is now) are promoting overall performance via the DC Vault thread.
 
Ah ok :) I'm using 4 pcs as I said, 2 rigs at home and my work pc and laptop when im out of the office :)

Main PC - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @4.2Ghz / AMD Radeon 6970 950/1450 2GB
Secondary - AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @4.4Ghz (golden chip ;D) /geforce GT630 2GB @ stock

Work PC - Intel core duo E5300 @ 2.2ghz (no gpu)
Work laptop - Intel core duo something or other (it's ****) at 1.8ghz

Are my home rigs the only ones that will really give me any proper score? Is it even worth the machines at work to keep crunching?
