Hehehe, mad crazy isn't it. Yes, you need to complete ALL 500 to get the work unit. Some work units that I've gotten are like 400,000, and 4,000,000. Moves a bit quicker, but VERY big. Depends on what they give you. If you are NOT getting the points per unit you think double check your CONFIG, make sure you said YES, to work units larger than 5M.

(hey pun, no rush but, you think you could set up a tutorial on how to configure the GUI, it is kind of confusing, and I am still not even sure if I got it set up right.)

Agreed, and I can speak to this from personal experience, not some vague info passed on. Even though I've got a 1337 rig, I ALWAYS fully test everything, before ANY recommendations come from US. I have to. I've done testing, and here's an example for you. I've got 4 simultaneous Work Units running on my machine, and am also, have a web browser open, playing a game of Doom3, and am on a Ventrillo channel. Now, it THAT doesn't tell you all you need to know, I don't know what will. The deal is, the brain pans over at Stanford University know, if they make it "intrusive" that no one will run it, or at least the standard Joe, won't. Because of that, they've designed it (unless you forcebly change it), to run ultra low priority. It can be run no matter WHAT you're doing. If you are needing 100 percent of the CPU for work, THAT'S what you'll get, when you're only using 50 percent, it will use the other 50. Very unobtrusive, as it "yeilds" to everything else that you are doing.
Very good program.

Ohhhhhhhh Nooooooooooooooo. I shouldn't have said anything. My high scores won't last now. OOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Yes, you can leave it running 24/7. If you're curious, boot your computer, which should probably (unless you've changed it), startup at boot. Give it a minute or so, make sure that it's actively folding ie. XX/500 or that the pie chart is up on your screen. Control/Alt/Delete, and bring up your Task Manager, then make sure that the Processes tab is on top, and you'll see, if you're doing nothing, it will use 100%. If you open up another program, start using Photoshop, doing vidoes, etc, it will yeild, and give up whatever the OTHER program needs.
