Got room for another folder?

I know I'm a couple of years late to the game, but I hope you guys don't mind me throwing some CPU's online for your team.
I just got back into Descent after 10 or 11 years of screwing around with other games trying to find something as fun. I Never did so the last 5 years I've been modding the Battlefield series. I burnt out on that, so I came back to my old online Decent group, the Rangers. I found out I totally suck at Descent now, so I might as well put my CPUs to work doing something useful.
Some might remember me by a few pieces of art I did for Descent friends like Koolbear and Pooterman... ancient stuff and I've come a long way since, but I just found KB has a page up of my old D2 stuff... http://www.koolbear.com/Descent/Radman/index.html
Anyway, hopefully I can contribute some to the team and more importantly the F@H project. My computers are all yester-year tech, but they should do fine for folding. I quit upgrading every 4 months when I slowed down playing Online games.
I'll be folding on these:
dual xeon 3.2ghz running (4 F@H clients)
P4 3.4 OC'ed to 3.6ghz (2 F@H clients)
P4 3.0 OC'ed to 3.4ghz (2 F@H clients)
P4 2.4 (no H/T) (1 F@H client)
I've been at it for about 48 hours... Lost about 24 hours of work on 2 of the cpu's screweing around trying to tweak them. I also have some wierdness going on with a few of the cpu's being 2 to 3 times slower than others, but I'll let this run a few more days before I start asking too many irratating questions. Hope some of you active folders are still monitoring these forums.
Rad out
