The OS isn't too important, no, there are clients for most OSes including Windows 7 as you obviously have found out.

Exactly.  Whatever you can fold with makes a difference, as long as it can complete the units on time of course which any of the machines listed in your specs can do.

Put a shortcut to the .exe in your Startup folder...

For the graphical client, you'll have to add it to the startup folder.
The console client is easier, as it can be set to run invisibly as a service - I have mine automatically start, and automatically restart if for some reason it fails to start straight away.

Well it sounds good, but you did not have to LOL because I did not know what it was! Sad I have 400 GB Hard Drive & 2048 MB Ram , but I guess you don't need it.

Yes.  That LOL was a typo!  We really want you to lend your processor and RAM to our efforts.

Folding @ Home crunches numbers regarding protein research, and the kinds of diseases which happen when protein molecules "misfold" and do other strange things...
