Hi guys, I just set up my main computer to fold today. I was just wondering what I need to do to sign up on [H]ardfolding. I assume that since I have just started and have no stats yet that I will not show up on it yet since I need a Stats ID # to be able to register. My first thing will be done by around 1am tonight so I wont know until tomorrow whats up.
I am also running F@H on my laptop that I am typing this on. I know a lot of people use bare computers to run folding efficiently(no video card), and video card rigs to put out more points. I haven't seen too much information on laptops though, it would seem like they would be ok. They may have less performance but they also take less power. This one I have uses a 65w powerblock for it. It seems like they would be decent since by comparison the chipsets, and other hardware take less power than their desktop counterparts. It would seem if you got multiple laptops pulling the same power as a desktop with similar hardware that the laptops would put out more PPD than the desktop using the same amount of power from the wall.
Its probably my relative newness to this that I would come to that conclusion, but I would like to hear what others with more experience think.
