    I don't think he understands what Folding@Home is. :rolleyes:

    Unfortunately, I don't think we do. I'd be willing to sign up under a DP team if someone decided to start one though. :)

    For people who are confused, here is an excerpt from the wiki article on Folding@Home,

    Basically you have a program on your computer that uses your idle computing power to research various diseases.

    Well if there isn't one already - we should have one.

    I can't see us competing with the overclocking nerds, but we can at least contribute.
