Hey guys. I just started folding tonight. Thought I should since I'm helping out in the SVT forum now. I downloaded the non-console client (as suggested) and since I have 1.5GB RAM I allowed large jobs. My question is am I doing this right? The client starts as a service. I haven't noticed any degradation in my PC speed but my processor is always running at 100%. I suppose this is normal? I don't know if this is the right place for this or not but I'm just saying HI! I'm skywalker45, real name is Jody. I've worked in the PC industry all my life and PC's are my passion. Currently I work as a systems integrator/analyst/IT guy with a weather radar company. All our platforms run under Linux but Windows is my favorite. Sad to say though over the years I've become a little more proficient with Linux than with Windows but hey Windows is MY OS! And I have a passion for helping those with PC problems and I want to help cure diseases. I believe I've made the right choice.

I found a link to "when do I get my button under my name that says "team 93". So I guess I have to wait until my first work unit is done, correct? Thanks guys for offering such a wonderful service to what we all already provide to the public.

    Jody, you're doing fine. The CPU should be at a nice steady pace. I set all my work PC's at 90% due to problems with another process we run that is set to idle. But all my personal PC's run 100% CPU and I've even set F@H to run at Low priority instead of idle.

    Oh.... and thanks for helping the team out!!! :thumbsup:
