Things to know about how the Folding clients work:
It will need an internet connection to download the DNA info that it will "unfold" and will then need the connection again when it sends the info back, it will not shut down your connection, or use it all up on you.
It uses idle CPU cycles. If you open IE and the computer needs 80% of the cpu to open IE without a slowdown, Folding will use only the 20% thats idle. If you are doing enough that requires 100% of the cpu, like gaiming or multitasking, video editing, then teh Folding client will idle, or pause and wait for a time when the cpu is not being fully used.
