I have two computers up and running. The laptop was given a 5,000 frame WU, the desktop was given a 50,000 frame WU. Should be done by 2009?

I'm in for a long ride before you see any stats from this site, LOL.

LOL! My first laptop I put this on (running the Linux client, BTW) indicated I was working on a project and that I had completed 0 out of 10,000,000 steps. Since it was maxing out my temp sensor, and the fan was roaring, I exited out.

My work (Windows XP home) laptop is now dedicated to this.

The number of frames doesn't matter as some frames only take 2-3 seconds complete while other can take 7-10 minutes. At any rate, even the largest WUs (646 points) should complete within 7 days if your CPU is on 24/7.

You can check the point summary for all WUs:

F@H is helping make a difference in research that can affect the lives of everyone. Once scientists have enough data on how and why proteins fold, they'll be able to use this data to search for cures for the most devastating diseases. The sooner this data is collected, the sooner we'll be able to see tangible results really take effect.
