Go to that link and take a look. All that's needed to help is an internet connection and your spare processing power. I leave my computer on every night, so it may as well go to good use right?

AFAIK, MR has a folding team.

Er...Kalns, on that site go to Stats and pull up Team 3446. You'll find nearly 2000 of us already listed

Although if you want to join in, please do. The more the merrier

though my production is down as of late, i'm still the #6 folder on team 3446.

Folding? Who does that? Seriously..

Shamefully looks at his 2 completed WUs

no shame! every bit counts.

I've only been doing it since last month but the SMP simulations load you up with 1700+ pts per WU. I've just added my PS3 this week. By the end of next week I should be well within the top 200 on Team Macrumors.

I can only imagine what kind of damage could be done with a Mac Pro. Until they get around to updating them and I order mine, of course, and then I won't have to imagine anymore.

1700 points per WU!!! That's more then my weekly production! And I have two C2D and a G5 folding. Not 24/7, but still... It has taken me 5 years to get to the 170.000 points and over 2000 WU to achieve that. That makes you think, 2000 WU X 1700 points = 3.400.000 points! That's about 20 times as high. Those PS3 are seriously kicking some @#$*!!

There were only two or three simulations worth 1700 points and they're not PS3 WUs. A C2D can handle one of the big mothers in a little over a day. The PS3 is currenlty chomping on some ~300 pt WUs that take between 6-8 hours to wrap up.

Isent the ps3 the most powerfull one? isent it like 25 time more folding power than a pc? dose any one leave there ps3 all night folding?

My C2D at work is taking 25 hours for a WU that is only worth 186, this is per core. So the PS3 is way more powerfull, but what do you want with 7 cores, each 3.2 GHZ and working together on one WU.
