I'm planning on trying to setup a Fold Server when I get home and I'm trying to figure out which machine I want it on.

It says it can run on a fairly low-end machine, so should I take my crappiest box (Duron 850) and install it there? I'm figuring as it works to handle the work from the other machines, it'll be impacted, so why not slow down the slowest one anyways?

Or should I use a higher end box so it can dish out work faster?

Thanks :)
 
It's probably best to use a slow box, because they don't have the latest enhancements in terms of processor features (SSE3 etc). It shouldn't matter too much when your slowest machine is a Duron, but still it might make some difference.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions later tonight. ;)
