Start Folding the Easy Way!!

Alright everybody, listen up! There is an easier way to start Folding for a cure with [H]ard|OCP (team #33) and we want all of you to at least give it a try. Folding is a wonderful way to help your fellow man using your spare CPU cycles and now, thanks to the new FAH GPU Tracker v2, it is easier than ever to get started. Remember to put the number 33 in the "team" field and you’d be folding with the [H]orde in no time! Thanks to nitrobass24 for the heads up.

So you want to start folding? Great! The problem most users face when just getting started is what clients to install. This can be confusing thanks to the variety of options available: CPU/unicore client, SMP client, GPU2 client, GPU3 client, tray clients, console clients, and VMs. Thankfully, there is a much easier option. FAH GPU Tracker V2 is an interface for running multiple clients and a stats tracking system. In my opinion, using the Tracker is the easiest way to start folding.
