Sony - Folding@Home Help - View Post

I'm pretty sure it is tied to a HDD for some reason.

I have 2 PS3s and 446 WUs completed. From the launch of the program until about august I was really big on Folding. I would leave my PS3s on for days at a time folding only taking breaks to play. Most of Christmas of 07 where my only PS3 at the time stayed on for the full 2 weeks christmas holidays. In February of 08 , I got my second unit a 40 GB, which therefore consumes less power, so it became my primary folder. In July, I changed my HDD on the 40GB to a 160GB. Like I said, I only got turned off of massive amounts of folding in August, so presumably, my 40GB PS3 has folded many more than the 47WU it now gives this system credit for. I can therefore say with reasonable certainty that in my experience, if you keep the same username (there are no passwords), the actual folding process display will only show the units done on your HDD, but in the information menu, you'll get full credit for all WU done under your name.
