Default Optimizing my system for folding.

Hey, lately ive been trying to get back into the folding buisness and now i really like it. Ive already planned to make two other folding systems plus a main rig wich i am hoping will be a Pentium D 805. So, what i came here to ask was if there was any way to optimize a system used for other things, for folding also? That means id still have to be able to use my computer for other suff, but have higher folding productivity on my poor old cellery (celeron).

Use the console version and pick deadlineless work units, then just turn it on when your not gaming, as for web brouseing and such you can fold and still brouse and email, my main rig allows me to fold and play games, so the better the rig the more you can do.

Graphic is fine also, the difference isnt huge. And yes, most games get minimized when folding is up, you have to close the program completely.
