Am I folding properly

OK so there is a delay in getting folding on my other computers but I ran it on my laptop just to start off, 1 is better than none. I haven't ran it that much but I don't know if i'm doing it right. Should I have any points or not?

There are some Pics Below
My specs are:
AMD Turion X2 TL50 1.6GHz
1GB DDR2
120GB PATA HDD
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100

Thanks,

YukonMaster

one thing i would do if i were you is select the power box in the advanced tab. this will pause folding while the laptop is running on batteries and allow your battery to last longer. other than that everything looks good. you would have to check your logfile to see if you have finished any units or not. depending on the unit it may take up to 3 days of solid 24/7 folding to complete.

Once you complete your first unit, you will show up on the stats pages.

Not necessarily. Different units are different sizes and different frame numbers. Not sure of the scientific/technical definition of what a Work Unit IS though

The Scientific Explanation...

Each WU is a piece of a protein. The study simulates how the proteins "fold" or change over time.
