Dedicated box folding tip!
Want to make your dedicated folding boxes fold marginaly quicker?

Click the "Start" button.
Click "Run".
Type "Sysedit".
Click "OK"
Select the "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI" box.
Modify the "Shell=" segment of your system.ini file to run the console folding client as the systems shell.

This will go a long way to help systems with very little memory fold faster, it will also help systems with adiquate memory fold marginally faster as well. If you really wanted to get extreme you could rig something up to fold in "Safe Mode with Network Support".

When ever me and the local fragheads get together for a lan party, the Q3A server always runs quake3.exe as a shell, it really does help . . . . .

Wow, a gig? Talk about overkill - especially since you are running Windoze! 64 MB is more than enough for folding, lol.
