I have F@ H (folding at home) running on 2 computers.
1 has the specs below:
Intel Celeron D 3.44ghz
512mb RAM
Some intel mobo
The other is
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+@26416
1gb Geil RAM
Gigabyte mobo with N-Force 430 chip-set
Would it be ok to have the Intel computer running at 15% CPU usage for 13hrs and for the AMD computer running at 45% cpu usage for 13hrs? They both have good cooling on them.
What i want to know will it damage any thing?
The Intel computer is about 3 months old and the AMD computer is about 2.

AMD CPU 38c
Intel CPU 47c.
The Intel always runs at 40+c.
Chipset on AMD is 38c
on Intel also 38c.

As long as the temperature of the CPU and other components remains OK all the time, you won't damage your hardware in any ways.
Just make sure your Power Supply Unit is a good one. Some very low quaility ones tend to generate alot of heat (due to lower efficiency) and their components doesn't last that long.

computers are built to run 24/7 so you should have no problems, and your not blasting either systems running below 50% cpu usage

If your system is properly cooled, there's no reason that should hurt it. I ran one of those on my dell one summer when the A/C in the house wasn't even working and it was fine

you will be fine, when i fold i run cpu at 100% all the time so that low of percentage is totally fine.
