Re: accessing folding papers

Mis-information? Like what? i see posts on forums like "ATi client is not optimized" or "nvidia wu's get a bonus". i know it sounds dumb that i care about something that's pretty inane but there are people with ATi cards that have moved to other projects like milkyway or collatz...

Re: Comparative scientific productivity between clients
