  1. Ive tried to join the EMC group/team but it doesnt seem to show my name in the list when I go to view it...
  2. Thanks for the rewards :)

    My laptop seemed to overheat whenever the program was enabled, so I disabled it (hence the low points), but I got a new laptop, so I'll try it on that. ;)
  3. I'll get it but atm I am so tired I could pas out lol

    In the morning....
  4. We hit 9mil! :)
  5. I was able to unitize 100% of my cpu the other day for around 45 minutes. And most of my points come from my 960 which I thought was kinda weird because I thought it was a cup based program :p
  6. I wish I could put the 960 towards FAH and the cpu/igpu towards gaming at low settings but sadly my cpu doesnt have one :(
  7. Does folding work if you use two computers at the same time on the same profile? Also, does folding use a lot of bandwidth?
  8. Bandwidth i dont think so but you could probably use 2 computers at once (desktop and laptop or something like that)
  9. My laptop's CPU isn't that fast unfortunately. It's a Intel Core i7 6th gen, though it is only dual core, and is barely able to complete the work units in the given time. Plus my laptop gets hot very quickly while folding. So that's why my points haven't gone up that much.
  10. I had a pentium on my laptop and the laptop ran hot i know how you feel

  11. Downloaded ^-^ Thanks for doing this!
  12. Is there any minimum CPU requirement? I got 13 old desktops all running older Intel Pentiums... will all of them combined actually make anything meaningful? :p
  13. so are you getting bitcoins for doing this?
