I was originally looking for BOINC projects because of the way that they can “share” …schedule/prioritize themselves. I can work around that.
If I download the gui version of Folding@home, can I kill the gui and still have it crunch? (or should I just download the console version right off the bat?)
No matter which version I download, it will be running on Windows XP with a dial-up connection. (My home is one mountain range away from broadband.)

now that has to be the coolest reason for not getting broadband
I’m a Folding man - but you stick with the project you believe and want to help with is my take on it - of course if you did decide Folding we would welcome it with open arms The console version of Folding with “fah502-console -config” sets it all up and the advanced options in there are great, including the auto install as a service - that rocks :headbang:
Folding is running. I think I joined our team. I loved the information in the FAQ:
To join a team, enter the team number at the first time you run the client (for text console versions).
…This sounds as bad as the code that I hack together! Of course, I ran the console before I read the FAQ. I think I put our team number (315) in all of the right places.
