folding proteins at your house

the program's primary function is cpu usage/energy, it only downloads
modules and sends results back to stanford institution when it is through.
the problem with your memory might be that FAH allows multiple instances of
the executible to run simultaneously. so make sure that you just have one
EXE occupying space. also, the program increased my processor temperature
by 6-8 degrees-F; again enforcing that matter cannot be created or
destroyed. a symbol of the numerous thermal transactions occuring
hypothetically in the program itself.

### I had some problems with Folding@home - the machine started warning
about low virtual memory and crashed. I am not authorized to increase the
paging file (now it's at 70MB), so I had to uninstall it. I still have it
running on a couple of other computers (it's the kaufneuro7 team member) but
I wonder if the program could put too much of a load on the LAN. Any advice?
