Driven by the desire to heat up the room on a cold winter night, the NGEmu folding team was born. Being started by a small but fanatic team, it soon attracted members from all corners of the Emuforums, offering their idle CPU cycles and unused GPU power. As the months progressed, team 161326 soared to great heights. Before we knew it, we hit the top 5000, and as of yet we are still steadily climbing towards the top 1000 of the world.
As I write, what was started as a way for heating the room in a geeky way, the determination of the team has lead us to rank 1347 (out of more than 150.000 teams), having completed over 2600 work units we have accumulated a score of more than one and a half million points!

As you see, with only 18 members we have been able to reach the top percent of the folding community. Our next milestone will be breaking into the top 1000, only to pound onwards towards the top 500 and possibly even higher. For that, we need all the help you can offer! It doesn’t matter if you’re running the latest i7 with 2 GTX295 cards, or simply an Athlon X2 with an ATi HD 3870, all idle cycles can contribute.
So, what is it you can do, and how do you join? And why should you join us?
First, a little explanation from the Official F@H FAQ:
How can I participate?
Simple, all you have to do is to go to this page to download the regular client, or to this page to download the high performance client. The difference here is that the standard one runs on the background and gives you the least amount of interference to worry about. However they don't get you as much result as the high performance clients after all. Additionally, the high performance clients allow you to do the calculations on your GPU or even Playstation 3.
So which is the fastest?
In terms of raw calculations, the scale is as follows:
GPU > > Playstation 3 > > CPU
On the other hand, when it comes to flexibility, the order is reversed. The CPU can do a much wider range of calculations than GPUs are capable of at this moment. In the end, all work has to be done, so we would appreciate every type of processor you can invest in the project!
Anything else I need to know?
Well there's deadlines for the WU's (Work Units) to be handed in/uploaded.
All you have to do is enter our Team ID in the client's settings, which is: 161326. Have fun, and feel free to join us in the forums to chat about! Also, if you have any questions, or would just like some general advice on how to optimize performance, feel free to ask. :thumb:

So what we're doing is we're combining our CPU/GPU power for the cause of aiding in the search for an answer to Alzheimer, Creutzfeldt Jakob and Cancer.
