Default Re: Anyone doing folding-at-home or worldcommunitygrid?


I used BOINC, and since it only runs as a screensaver, there's no noticable difference in computer response. The annoying thing about BOINC though, is that it has a small system tray icon that runs all the time. I hate clutter like that.

A big deciding factor for me is how cool the screensaver looks. Lots of graphs, cool looking numbers, and at least some form of representation of the data that's being crunched all make me more likely to use something like this.

I can't see the screenshots from worldcommunitygrid, but I'll maybe check it out. I like this sort of thing!
