For those confused about this topic, posted in a defiant way unlikely to gain sympathy (or votes) from those of us who've never heard of it, here's Wiki's explanation of Folding@Home:

Perhaps a nice friendly post showing how Tom's users might get involved in a useful project would better serve your aims.

The trouble is with F@H, once you set-up, there's pretty little much to talk about. Unless you run into configuration problems again. Since the participants also don't know what the hell they're running, also limits the conversation.

I used to fold with these, but running all the clients raised the room temp a bit too much, so I have stopped folding.

1. Pentium D 945 (3.4GHz), 2GB Geil Ram, ATi 3870 -> One Single threaded/Standard Client, One GPU Client
2. Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (2.5GHz), 4GB Kingston Ram -> Two instances of the Standard Client
3. P4 HT 630 -> One instance of Standard Client (though it does quite bog the system down).
