400 MHz folding

I left my P3 450Mhz on overnight on a WU (I don't remember which) and it never even got to 1%.
Deleted, try to get another, left it on for another night and it never got to 1%.
It was so slowwwww. >.<
I don't think anything under 800Mhz is really worth it IMO. You'd be hurting the environment more with wasted electricity than a cure.

Rule of thumb: Never Fold on a XO-1

you just download a wu, let it run then upload it when your finished - yea you can do that if you're on dial up.

That is true except for the SMP client which does apparently have some give and take along the way with Stanford's server.

You only need an internet connection when downloading/uploading work units to stanford. Other than that you can fold without a connection.
