folding on a router

[drizzt81]

I was wondering if anyone tried running FAH on their router? I mean the linksys WGR54G that I have runs linux, so it should be able to run a *nix client, no?

ps.: yes, I am desperate for more folding power, since I feel so inferior to U_M

Well, your router may run Linux, but it's certainly not a PowerPC or x86 processor. It's an ARM processor, so it has a totally different architecture. Not to mention I wouldn't be surprised if it had no floating-point ability at all. The code from Stanford would look like a bunch of rubbish to the processor.

Sorry to disappoint you.

yeah good point... did not consider that.. :/

Yep, this has been brought up before. It's an ARM processor, so it doesn't handle the x86 code Stanford provides. Good thought, though.

You could plug it in when not in use. And turn it off F@H for the time that it's not pluged in. I'd do it if it was available. How about those 600mhz palm thingies with intel chips, would those run F@H?
