Awesome!

[bestSVMS]

because if you just compute yourself

you wont break any records

if you join a team

the teams efforts are combines

so backly that way you can break top say 20 teams or something

@squezey1 Electricity is often generated from fossil fuels, such as coal.

@Tenraiden fossil fuels? Last time I checked electricity isn't a fossil fuel to the idiot you said that this is using fossil fuels. But yeah that's what it is doing. I have Folding@home on my ps3 and when I'm not using the ps3 I turn it on.

I am just using Windows 7 x64 with GPU client and it works like charm.

@ChesterDoraemon F@H just employs the unused cycles on regular PCs that would otherwise be doing NOTHING while wasting all the energy from fossil fuels. Yeah. You think all those GIGAHERTZ and GIGABYTES of computing power are being utilized to the max while you sit here reading this webpage, listening to an MP3 and maybe downloading a few porn?

@TX2010 Not taking sides here but it's kind of amusing to see you throwing such "facts" as if you were the final freaking authority on it. :)

@ChesterDoraemon What the hell are you talking about? greenhouse gases? HA, thats a good one, i bet all that CO2 will make the planet nice and toasty, Oh wait, whats that CO2 is a dependent variable in global warming rather than th independent cause of it?

Global warming/cooling is so new man, OMG we better start doing something about this now, since its not like the Earth has been doing this well, since IT BEGAN. Global warming is not new, and CO2 from fossil fuels has NO effect at all on it.

[ChesterDoraemon]

this is just contributing to greenhouse warming by wasting energy from fossil fuels. The incompetent people running this program have been doing this for years. What have they accomplished? NADA.
