Join DU's Folding@Home team. Help find cures for a host of
diseases plaguing the human race.

Please join us as we contribute the power of our computers in the advancement of science and the betterment of all. You can get info from the Folding@Home Homepage, then download the client from the Download Page for Folding@Home.
http://folding.stanford.edu /

To make things easier, you may want to run the client as a service (Windows), or on the Mac you can put the client into the login items page.
One other request: please join the DU Folding@Home team:
http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=48157

Thank you, and please consider joining us. The client you download will show you how to join a team.

This client will not harm your machine and has proven to be secure.

The volunteers on the DU Folding@Home team (#48157) thank you.

As I write this our team page is down for an update, that usually takes a few minutes.

4. I will be moving up to a faster computer soon. I will be a number
crunching machine, but not in your league.

Thanks for helping with this project.

6. Glad to see you guys are still folding
:toast:

I've been folding with my PS3 and I haven't seen any options to set a team up. Any other PS3 owners folding out there?

7. Look at the forums at F@H to see if they show how. If not, ask them.
See if they have anything in the FAQ


I will be folding on a new Mac Mini soon.

8. Dont forget the handy-dandy Folding summary page to see where we stand:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=48157

DU was up to the mid 170's in standing but we've slipped back to the 180s

10. Got it running on the new system
It took just a few minutes and I'm off and crunching. I should be showing as active in a few days. If I am able to get the old computer I'll sign it back up.

14. Yeah but sometimes it's nice to be challenged. You know, two
hours searching for a fix, one hour on hold, then the tech has such a thick accent you understand maybe a third of what he said. You do what you understood, and improvised

Easy is nice, but a bit of conflict makes one feel alive.

Thanks for joining. It will take a bit before your work shows at the site, but once you complete a work unit, you will be in the stats.

15. Found a F@H widget for OSX It displays WU and percentage of
current WU. It's called UnitInfo. You can find it on this page:

http://www.unflyingobject.com/tarkvara/ It's the third on the list.
