[QUOTE="dogoftheunderworld, post: 3890264, member: 1485"] I know this has been around for a while, but it's "new to me", so I thought I would share and see what kind of interest I could generate. I got the idea to create an EN World Team from the [URL=http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53501]Giant in the Play Ground forums[/URL]. Below is a synopsis posted there: "For those who don't know what Folding@Home is, here is a brief run-down: In a nut shell, it is a distributed computing project working towards scientific research to prevent and cure disease.

Almost everyone here at ENWorld has a computer, and most should have plenty of CPU cycles to spare. I am going to download the client tonight and start processing! The GitPG link above also has lots of good information on the different clients available. To join the EN World Team at Folding@home, enter the Team# 93754 when you install/set up the client. This will let our combined results be tracked together.
