If only I could afford the $600 for the system
Mike
seems like it would make a cheap folding farm for the performance. 1 hour for a work unit
Wonder if you can set your team number on it.

There are some issues right now.
1 that is bad is that there is a 16character limit on username. As for how to set it up, I have no idea, there really is nothing on folding-community.org other than what some people are folding, and little questions in that particular forum.
I would say grunt be a guinea pig and see what happens.
Found this though

GPU seems to be the best way to go, though. Still what the PS3 is pulling off is impressive.

PS3 crunching numbers impressed me!!!! For $600 you can blow away any pc out there - NICE!
Mike

Yeah I just checked while I was at work... You can change all angles and zoom in as well plus change the way it looks (make it look more like jello lol)

I didn't know it could do that, mine just shows the planet earth spinning....I confiscated my Kid's PS3...It's a dedicated folder now.

oh now that would be sick... is it folding one unit on all cores right now?

Since its only doing one at a time I am ASSUMING (cuz we all know Im no tech dude) it is only using 1 core. Although it folds like crazy so who knows.
It would be cool to play and fold at the same time. It will continue to fold for the team until I get some sort of address for my wife to mail it to me once Im gone..
