My username on there is DanFromMars.  Only just started but would be good if more members joined and we got some momentum.

Happy folding

What is it?

[DanFromMars]

Medical research application that runs in the background using your cpu or/and gpu's spare cycles to simulate protein folding.  It's also a good tool for overclockers to check if your system is stable. might as well run this for 6+ hours and do some good, rather than useless prime95 etc.

Got it running on my cpu and gpu and Ps3 and my sister's pc all under anonymous. Was just wondering if many rawk users used it and had a team, since you get points for how much you contribute and can join a team.

Seems to be a game version of folding. Much better way to do it than the crappy screen saver idea (I'm assuming it's the same thing really )
