I've noticed a bunch of different folding projects.

My question is, Which folding project will have the most impact on curing alzheimer's ?

Currently i am running folding@home. I wonder if a more specific folding project exists.

Thanks,
Austin

The answer to your question is impossible to know without a time machine, but if I had to venture a guess at it I would imagine that F@H would be the most likely *public* folding research project to contribute to any potential Alzheimer's cure, due to its already large and ever-growing userbase, and the sheer amount of FLOPs at the projects disposal. GPU folding, multi-CPU folding, and PS3 folding have already lead to a huge increase in this number.
