Alright guys, I've just gotten myself the F@H client, and I'm looking forward to getting into folding@home xD

Now, I'm a complete noob when it comes to F@H, the way I understand it is : You get points for helping the world, and the better your rig, the more points you get...
Now, I've joined the Redline team under the name ''iBeInspire'' and I'll be folding whenever I'm not using my PC, but I don't understand a few things...

1) I've read that you can fold ''on'' your CPU, as well as your GPU... Does this take any setting up..? Currently my ''PPD'' says 7780, is this a combined score, or just CPU/GPU..?

2) I've also read you can get a ''passkey'' to get bonus points or something..? I'm down

3) Is there anything else I should know about that would be useful..?

Thanks all

Hey matey welcome to the F@H Redline/OC3D Team98860
you get points for every WU project you have Folded,
and yes the better the rig (best would be a combo of Intel/NvidiA) the more points you will archive...

So overclocking would increase the PPD as well...

Got my passkey all sorted, and I'm folding on AMD/AMD, so not too sure about that one P

Also, is there a way to check how many points I've got so far..? Or to track progress in a chart/ect.?

Hey mate,

As long as you've completed at least 1 WU, you can check your points here:
