Ok, downloaded installed Boinc, joined LHC Home created user profile and set preferences to run late evening to early morning. Is this all is necessary to have my PC used for Sixtrack, and Garfield simulations ?
From the History of LHC Home page:
Alex Owen and Neasan O'Neill at Queen Mary were the new administrators and preparations were made to hand over to them and move the service to London in early 2007. After months of getting to know the system and buying new kit the 1st of June 2007 was the first official day of LHC@home running from London and in July of 2007 the website got a makeover.
Since the move the project has been kept busy crunching plenty of SixTrack work units for the scientists but there is work going on behind the scenes to get more work units new applications. The main work, currently, is looking at the Garfield application which will simulate the detectors being used at the LHC. The team behind LHC@home are still for even more new applications to port on to BOINC and hope to have some announcements to keep all the volunteers happy in 2008.
From this information is it fair to assume that my PC will be used for Sixtrack, and or Garfield use ?
As always, thanks in advance...

P.S. Want to see how things fare before I recommend any of this to the Physics Forum folks.
