System Requirements

[hoijui]

i am currently running fold.it on my Netbook with the following specs:
Single Core Atom CPU 1.8GHz
integrated Intel GFX 945
2 GB RAM
Ubuntu 11.10

The introductory puzzles run quite well, until i get to the ones where you have to use "Tweak". that function is basically unusable, cause it is so slow (feels like a freeze, nearly).
I am mostly interested in the introductory puzzles only, so i do not care much whether my system can handle huge proteins, as long as i would be able to do the introduction. we are meant to complete the introduction for a university course i am taking, as they say it is a very good way to get up to speed, and get a good feeling what protein folding means, in comparison to reading a book about it. i agree of course ;-)

so…
thanks for fold.it, and.. is there possibly a way to make tweak faster?

Hello hoijui, thanks for your post.

If someone has not already done it, you could try posting a suggestion in the Feedback section about the Tweak tool. I think this should be fixed up, too. ;)
