Folding on laptop
My laptop sits around most days doing nothing and I was wondering whether it's worth getting it folding.
It's a sandy bridge dual-core with hyper-threading, i3 2310m, so it's half decent for a laptop but I know it is not going to get a lot of points, 2000ppd maybe? Think it's worth it?

I have used my Alienware laptop several times for folding, but put a laptop cooler underneath and this keeps the temperature down. but only on the i5.

It's up and running and I'm getting just around 3,000ppd. It's sitting on my windowsill which has a small draft (old house and windows) so it is keeping cool enough, around 60-65C. It's good enough.
