"iamwhoiamtoday" has some sort of beastly Folding setup, that is for sure! Yikes

are the AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile any good for folding? I could run that all day but funno if it will do much. I tried it on my desktop but it was beyond horrible since its so damned old lol

The real trick behind my layout is the GPU client. I have: an ATI 3850, Nvidia 8800GTS, and two nvidia 9800GTX cards, all running the Folding@home client. I still need to go and install the CPU client in each of my systems though...

I think that this contest is rather cool, it gets people to Fold, and there is some rather nice ram involved as well ^_^
