None YET. But considering the potential of the protein folding to be understood, cures for diseases can - and will - be discovered. Personally, my family has a little line of cancer, and one of them is gone and another is struggling because of it. Worthy cause I say... Worthy cause...]]>Jan 28th 2008 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/
Anyway, my microserver:

MODEL: IBM PC 200
OS: Windows 2000
CPU: 200 MHz Pentium 1
RAM: 16 MB
HDD: 3 GB

I have the apps stripped down for it, and it contains a firewall, uTorrent with WebUI (no torrents seeded yet) and Folding@Home. It only has a power cord and an ethernet wire. No Monitor, keyboard or mouse. Remote controlled by TightVNC. Yes, I know it's crappy but it helps and my old 1GHz laptop will join the ranks soon after I wrestle linux in it.

P.S: Guess my screen name... Aguiluz!]]>Jan 28th 2008 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/Aug 13th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/Jan 28th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/Jan 28th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/I've left mine on for many days straight doing folding... erm... unfortunately, not for engadget, but for my fraternity's folding team. ]]>Jan 28th 2008 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/

Where do these "spare" cpu cycles come from ? I turn mine off when they are not in use or at least put my media center to sleep, I'd have to leave these on to run folding and therefore use electricity to run my pc (or games console).

Distributed computing is a great tool but the illusion that you use spare cycles is nonsense, Whats really funny is when climate models are run using it, dumping even more carbon into the atmosphere. 1000,000 home computers maybe alot cheaper than a supercomputer but they do use alot more juice ;) ]]>Jan 28th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/28/engadgets-folding-home-team-crosses-the-100-000-000-point-mark/
What has "Folding@Home" accomplished thus far (other than making impressive computing records, etc.)? Not being down on it or anything.
