hi, i have decided to try and not be selfish, and have downloaded f@h. i have joined team redline, but, what i don't understand is, how exactly is f@h helping science??? honestly what can my little computer really do to help?

Your computer is part of a team of hundreds of thousands of other computers that are all working together to simulate protein folding. Protein folding requires huge amounts of processing power and this project would not be possible without the participation of so many people. These simulations help scientists better understand how and why many diseases occur, which is an important step towards developing a cure.

See here for a more complete explanation of what folding is, and here for a list of papers published from F@H results.

For ATI cards you should use the V7 beta client found here https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/FAHClient/wiki/BetaRelease

Go to the Stanford website and read about it

Hey guys, just started folding on my dragon slayer rig. Not the best hardware but I would rather use it for something than just have it sitting around collecting dust. I am very new to this so forgive me if I sound to much like a noob. I downloaded the software and just started. I entered 98860 and it was off and running. What should I bee looking for or should I just let it go do whatever it wants? Right now it is running two projects P112923 and 7200 with between 6600 and 8500 PPD.

Will I get a better estimate of the PPD as it runs longer?

System Specs:

Q6600 @ 3 Ghz 1.325 volts

4 GB DDR2 800

MSI R6850 @ 860Mhz Core & 1100 Mhz Memory

Windows 7 32bit

Do you mean will you get a higher point estimate the longer it runs? Then no.

You will get a more accurate estimate though, and can establish your minimum and maximum potentials (though that my involve a lot of babysitting - you don't really need to know the most you could possibly earn, it's just curiosity).

Thanks for the reply, I finished one WU last night and the PPD maxed out at around 8800. It was cool to see my name pop up on the team roster (#256).
