I'm downloading the software for my Macintosh now, maybe a 2.00GHZ Core 2 Duo will help out some.

Is my Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2 GHz faster than the PS3's Cell?

whippersnapper · 07-18-2007, 08:57 PM

We're now up to 400th ranking of 73,702 teams. Soon to climb into the 300s. Way to go folks!

bob_dobbs · 07-18-2007, 09:24 PM

115 work units and I'm 24th on the team list. Let's go, people! ! To the top! It's interesting to see where there is folding and where not on the old globe . . . Seems like only one island in Hawaii has Folding people (that sounds weird) . . . . and almost nothing in the southern hemisphere.

bluflu · 07-18-2007, 09:42 PM

We need 7 more people to reach 100 members.

jcdDigix · 07-20-2007, 07:03 AM

Just joined! Both my PC & PS3 are running the program.

CptGreedle · 07-20-2007, 04:16 PM

I tried to join last weekend, I entered the code and title, but I'm still not sure it worked....
What do i have to do exactly? just enter the number and the name blu-ray.com?

RichiPuppy · 07-20-2007, 04:24 PM

Just the number, after that look on team statistics, and it should bring up our statistics.

The PS3 will fold about 7-9 times faster than the fastest PC/Laptop last I heard. 7 Cores vs. 2 cores plus the PS3 is apparently wierdly suited for folding due to the architecture of the system.

I am a member of the 2old2play team since they were one of the first to form a team.

Regardless of what team you are on it is a really cool thing to be doing and I am very proud that PS3 can be a huge part of this.

BTW, if you check you will see that since the PS3 came online the folding efforts have doubled worldwide. Amazing.

I have noticed with my computer folding@home only uses one core on my dual core CPU . Basically my system stays at 50% load until I do something with it. Since I have it on a computer that I am just using as a media center system even if I am playing a blu-ray movie my system load is still under %90. But for the most part my computer has plenty of extra CPU power folding at home could be using.

Aaron · 07-24-2007, 12:32 AM

Up to 24 Work Units :-)

smiley · 07-25-2007, 05:08 AM

My computer hasn't done any folding the last couple days. All I have been getting is download errors. Anybody else having problems?

Beef67 · 07-25-2007, 06:21 AM

how to i join the team? and what exactly is folding? i have had it on my ps3 for some time but never really looked into. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Damon Payne · 07-26-2007, 06:44 PM

Actually, the PS3 uses all 8 cores for Folding,
