Folding@home Team 56895 and Life with PlayStation - Page 17 - Blu-ray Forum

I just hooked my PS3 back to the internet last night. I updated everything and started folding again.
I just got a new Sharp 46" 1080p TV and where I placed it allowed me to run DSL & Cable in the same area to both TV & PS3.

I don't even bother running it on my lappy's or desktops either. By the time the machines finally would have completed a work unit I'm sure someone else would have refolded it by then.

Agent23 · 11-28-2007, 07:50 PM

Got my first work unit completed this morning. Working on my second.

Good job! Welcome in the Folding team

TheSentinel · 11-29-2007, 01:43 PM

Added my quadcore PC to my Folding team i doubt my celeron would do much damage to the WUs

bilbravo · 11-29-2007, 08:42 PM

I have become addicated to f@h stats. So much that I find myself not wanting to play a game just so I can keep up with others on the list! I need to break the top 95!

Edit:
Do others here who have 2 or more hosts doing folding (i.e. PS3 and a PC) have the same name in both? For example, I have bilbravo.ps3 and bilbravo-pc. Is it unethical to combine mine? I wouldn't want to cheat.

I have two (but my PC is soooooooo slow compared to my PS3, it isn't even a factor. ) That's just me.

I only have my PS3 do Folding once in a great while and it has done 25 units. My PC is on 24/7 and has only done 14.

bilbravo · 11-29-2007, 08:58 PM

You want to play tonight? My company's holiday party is tonight but I'll likely be home by 9 or so.

aphex · 11-30-2007, 12:00 AM

we should have a donate thing here. And then when we break top 50 we should give the top 50 folders a free BD!

Paden · 11-30-2007, 01:44 PM

Joined up last night. I think this is outstanding! If not for this web site I probably wouldn't have paid attention to the Folding icon on my PS3.

Thanks for the information!

Me and my son have the same name in our PS3's (PaulB404) so it combines the workunits together. If you click on a user name in the stats page it will tell you how many processors are active. Folding is folding, there is no such thing as cheating ! ?

brrneon · 12-01-2007, 04:09 AM

I added my PS3 a couple weeks ago to the team and tonight I just added my laptop and desktop. I might be able to get a few more people to join. I'm currently sitting in the 80's with ItPutsTheLotionOn

BluHavik · 12-01-2007, 09:07 AM

193 now!! We could break the 150 but I think that is gonna be hard, we are up to the VERY serious guys now. It's all for a great cause but me, like you love the competition. 150 is the goal now, agree?

Fold under the same name, it's more convenient to have all units within the same nickname. I'm folding with my PS3 and desktop and I'm planning to add another PS3 down the road.

I think we are going to break 150 in about 45 days

Absolutely, 150 is next in our sights, and due to the extraordinary power of the PS3, we'll be there before you know it. I'm doing my part with my PS3 (soon to be 2 of them) folding 24/7 along with my 2 dual-core Macs chipping in. Look for my name marching up the charts!

buckshot · 12-01-2007, 11:47 AM

I believe I broke into the 50's as far as standings goes. I have both ps3s running on all cylinders all the time. they haven't been turned off for a while now. i'm sad that I have to stop folding in order to watch movies. I tried signing up my macbook, but i'm slightly tech tarded still so it didn't work out so well. once I bump up the ram for my pc I will be signing it up. my parents are in the 60's in the standings as well.

The problem is, if I rename I lose all my WUs... maybe I'll rename my PC to "bilbravo.ps3" so that I keep my ratings there.

vladittude0583 · 12-02-2007, 02:02 AM

Awesome, I have now moved up to rank 118 from 123 earlier today. I was around 200+ a few days ago.

Shin-Ra · 12-02-2007, 02:20 AM

The team logo's broken at the moment, can Banjo or whoever's got control now change it?
