Read the site and you'll find out. ;)

PANDE GROUP, CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT, STANFORD UNIVERSITY

The Pande group works on theory and simulations of how proteins, RNA, and nanoscale synthetic polymers fold. We have developed the ensemble dynamics method and its application to protein folding and wrote the client and server code for the Folding@home project. The members of the group involved with Folding@Home are listed below.

No.

It normally takes 10% of any kind of change for an average person to see something is different.

F@H, when run as a service, has been proven to take a 1.5-2% performance hit while doing very CPU intensive gaming / compiling.

Since you normally run it at the idle process priority, anything running will get CPU priority over it. Takes about 4meg of ram, normally get's up to 10-15 meg as a "work unit" is getting nearer to completion & sent back to stanford.

Normally it takes many hours, days to finish a "work unit". That itself is nothing more than some strings of info it downloads, does whatever it does, then sends a few stirngs back. Network bandwidth wise, it's about like typing this post.
