I am curious to know how many VGChartz members actually use the application. I actually feel good about it and  have contributed 1734 units so far and I hope to do more when I pick up another manchine later on.

Share your thoughts, tell me why or why not you use the Folding@Home.

It is an application in your XMB labeled "Life with Playstation"

Folding@home does not rely on powerful supercomputers  for its data processing; instead, the primary contributors to the Folding@home project are many hundreds of thousands of personal computer users who have installed a client program. The client runs in the background, utilizing otherwise unused CPU power. The older, no longer used version of Folding@home for the CPU could be run as a screen saver, only folding while the user is away. In most modern personal computers, the CPU is rarely used to its full capacity at all times; the Folding@home client takes advantage of this unused processing power.

Waste of electricity.



Yes I do , it helps out a lot.



I used to leave my ps3 on all night for that but now since the console is old im worried that it will switch off for the last time while folding. Will be folding again when get the slim.



When you are leaving the ps3 to download games and what not, that's when I fold.
