This is a thread to recruit members to the Finalgear Folding@home team...
We've had a team since early 2005 and at one point nearly got into the top 500.
But recently there have been only a few of us folding and we have slipped into the 800's.
Folding at home is a distributed computing project run by Stanford university to investigate the reasons why proteins fold incorrectly.

When Proteins fold incorrectly they cause diseases such as Cancer & Alzheimer's amongst others.
So by joining the team you can help, by donating computing time , to help cure these diseases.
The negative aspect is that your computer will use more power, it will cost real money, personally I can live with that.
If you use the GPU client, your bandwidth usage will go up and things will seem a little slow, but personally when I'm browsing the Internet I just don't notice.
We even have a sub-forum dedicated to the Finalgear team.
