Go to solution Solved by iHardware Shelden,

hum. how would i do this?

Assuming they are on the same network (router) and homegroup in windows you should be able to access it. It is kind of hard to explain via text but there are many simple tutorials on youtube.聽 ;)

i could fold on the laptop and NAS the tower. what to you think?

That would work :) Only on the laptop though since the Dell would be running the FreeNAS or NAS software. You could just do windows and connect it using a network drive while also running folding at Medium settings for example.

not to be rude but i don't like those mac jokes. it video edits like a beauty. but good ideas.

I'm sorry.

But don't worry. I know a Mac is a pretty damn good PC when it comes to professional work, like video editing. I love the hardware inside, not the manufacturer or distributor.聽 ;)

I would only do folding on the laptop in the day, but yes that would be a good idea.

Macs are great for everything, but gaming. Now though even more games are starting to support mac and you can also use bootcamp.

No the desktop run windows, then you can connect to it over the network for storage using a windows network drive and that system can run folding at the same time.

Sorry for my bad explaining :P but so what I am is saying is both systems run windows. The system you want to use for storage you can connect to with your laptop over the network and use that to transfer files back and forth. The system that you are using for storage (not the laptop) can run folding at home at medium 24/7 if you want and you can still store files on it even while that runs.
