Do Something Useful With Your CPU
Join the Stardock/WinCustomize.com Folding@Home team today!
Sunday, December 19, 2004 by GreenReaper | Discussion: Personal Computing
I've made a Stardock/WinCustomize.com team - all you have to do is enter team ID number 41029 when asked by the Folding@Home client. And that's it! It will automatically get new blocks of work from the internet every so often and send results back, but you shouldn't have to touch it unless you want to. I chose to have it installed as a service, and the only way I know it's running is that CPU is at 100% or thereabouts all the time. It's all idle use, so it's not stealing the cycles from anything I want to run, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that my computer is working on something useful . . . even when I'm asleep. Give it a go!

With this little program here:

You can help saving Amozon forest... a bit... or conserve the world oil supplies... a bit...
unfortunately it will not work well with SETI@home since it will drop the power consumption only when the CPU usage is low and Seti@home makes it... well... not low.

Seems a lot of people joined but still only you GreenReaper in the team roster.
I think we first have to upload a result to be effectively in the team.
