    Yeah they should really add the turn off/pause the gpu in the post so people are not turned off/away from this because of the huge lag it causes. You could leave the gpu set, right click and pause it while you are using the computer and if you have not embraced senility at an early age like...

    Where's all my Canadian "Folder's"?!

    Long story short, it uses your spare cpu cycles to crunch big math for analyzing data, in one case for cancer. It has been around for over a decade, and basically everytime someone signs up it adds another computer/cpu to the mainframe. Disturbed computing :)

    You said you only have one thing showing so it will never do just gpu so you are all CPU :)

    What I meant was that it will install the part of the client that will use your gpu and the slot is the term they use for what is running. Sorry I type faster than I think most of the time and usually with a lot of spelling erros ;)

    Depending on your system, it will install/slot your gpu ( graphics processor/card ) to also work on units instead of just your cpu. When you look at your folding main screen if it only shows 1 item being worked on then it is only using your cpu

    A few questions and if I can help I am happy to . when it was running did it say roughly how long it would take, on one of my computers it had said 20 hours, and that was if it was running/on the whole time. Another I wasn't to complete for a few days. I assume you set up your name and team #...

    Also, I noticed some people mentioning their cpu(s) running at 100%, this isn't your typical 100% where its like your computer has "hung up". It is more like the light is on or off when it comes to the folding. I am sure you might have even noticed it says 100% but you are not noticing any lag...

    This is great to see :) I used to do this all the time back and I was on a few different teams and for a good while was on the [H]ardocp team. I have set this up on all the computers at the house, but had to drop the gpu as it was slowing down every computer. I had been looking for a team so...

    Where's all my Canadian "Folder's"?!

    If anyone happened to try the folding and noticed that your computer slowed right down, if you fullscreen the client and goto expert you can turn off your gpu slot. I am changing my comments about the nvidia cards :) I fired up a system with ATI/AMD card and also an issue. I dug into it a bit...

    Perth, Ottawa, Kingston, etc ( surround areas ) meet interest?

    yeah sorry dude, with the "nice" places not interested and limited selection in a small town, is difficult. I think the time of year makes it tough too.

    A moment of silence for Dusty and other GB fans

    Oh oh but I did.. a fair while after I moved from my punk phase into metal and during the transition into thrash, I got into hardcore rap... We called ourselves the 3 Live Screws ( a word play on the 2 live crew ) I was MC Fresh Fish, and we had DJ Easy Bait, and Terminator net... The rap...

    I know you were rolling your eyes at me but in all honesty that is what it reminded me off and also in all honesty I wasn't attempting to insult you or your tastebuds, just I had tried them both again recently and found them to be as I stated. I do agree with your assessment of rugged blend...

    Perth, Ottawa, Kingston, etc ( surround areas ) meet interest?

    There isn't a lot of interest going for this and finding a place has been difficult. I think I am going to say this is a no go, and will work on one sometime in the new year.
