[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 5972154, member: 54866"] Any TFF'ers involved in folding at home? Is it worth forming a TFF team? Anyone got an old Nvidia GPU they can donate me and I will put it alongside my own in my case? I fold a lot whilst doing academic work as it has no impact on what I am doing.
