I'm just curious, if anyone else keeps on folding while they are gaming. I can play BF2 with not lag, not framerate drop noticeable to me..while folding..w00t!!

I know it's set to like, low priority, but, it will still use up whatever percentage the game isn't using...correct?

So, if you want to fold as much as you can, don't game

I let it running... Folding performance drops dramatically, but gaming is good.

With your rig you should be ok, I leave it running while I game.

I leave it running. If I ever end up going dual core in the reasonably close future, I'll leave one core at 100% and the other I'll leave to the game.d
