I also used to fold for Team OcUK... was quite high in the stats (still 9th in the team) when i decided that it just wasnt worth the electric.

If BD do start a team ill get my 3 systems (14cores) up and running for a month or two and help get some scores on the doors.

I was at it for around a year, albeit only with my single core athlon 64, battling away for supremecy in the single machine / single core league on ocuk until it became virtually worthless doing it.

My machine manages in a week, what an SMP/GPU machine can knock out in about 3 hours now, it's not worth the electricity bill.

I used to fold and before that Seti but I gave it all up with the ridiculous electricity prices, I'm too tight these days

Was great where I used to work, I had dozens of PCs running SETI over night for months

I've got BOINC set up on a machine here. Don't know much about all this though and wouldn't be able to contribute much but I'm happy to add it to any team we get running

Like Stan, I'd rather do Rosetta, but I do have VM images available to run the more stable Linux SMP client.

If you fancy doing rosetta, you can count me in.

Maybe a poll would be in order to guage interest and preferences

I tried to get boinc/seti running a few weeks ago when it struck me that I have eight cores sitting here not doing a lot but it didn't do anything so I'd probably cocked up somewhere.
Didn't try the Rosetta thing, more than happy to give it a bash.

Can anyone point us in the direction of Rosetta and what the advantages are over Bonic etc ?
