& I just wonder to see that those members reputation power is so high

I have read about folding but still I can't be clear & I am very much confused about it

So please let me know as I always eager to know something new

& I want to ask that if we will be member of it then can we also get such a high reputation?

I think I have replied to your PM but it looks like you have already read what I suggested.

Folding is about donating your spare CPU cycles (below idle priority) to the study of protien folding. This is to help research into many diseases that currently have no cure. Not everyone can fold for several reason from reasons like what they can run on their coimputer to the power usage.

This seperate to how each forum uses reps in a different way. The Dev Hardware forum is generally more supportive in giving reps to members who provide support and do well. This means it will not necessarily give you a higher rep in your home forum.

The items next to your level are representative of your folding points. These cannot display until after you have complete your first work unit and waited for the results to be posted, this then gives you your folding ID number to enter in your profile and on the next forum batch update your points would start updating (there is some delay between completed work units and those showing up on your forum due to the batch nature of the updating).

We welcome all forum members who can donate their spare CPU cycles to such a good cause.
