I just recently re-started a folding client on my desktop. For those of you that don't know, folding at home is a very worthy project to contribute your idle cpu to if you have a powerful machine that's on all the time. Here is the description from their website:
Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved.
Protein folding is linked to disease, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers.
You can download and run the client from here:

And here are my current statistics, see if you can catch up!
