Folding is a program that uses a mathematical model of a protein and starts it folding. If it folds wrong you end up with some disease. Things like Alzheimers, Mad Cow, Parkinsons and many cancers. The microbiology lab at Stanford University has developed a program that runs in the background on your machine at home sending them via the internet the info on how a protein folds. Meanwhile you don't even notice that its running on your machine. How simple is that. It is a breeze to install and easy to set up. Please get involved and run this program on your machine. Even if your machine only runs a couple of hours a day, every little bit helps. You could save many lives.
If you want some help please contact me and I will be happy to help you get started.

You will also see my effort to fold on the Sapphire X1950 Pro AGP card. I have done a full write up of all the trials and tribulations (it wasn't that bad) to installing the card and making it work. See my section on Video Cards.
