I see through the stats on stanfords folding page that about 33,535 ps3s are being used to contribute to the project. Now I know there are almost 9 million ps3s out there. What i'm wondering is why everyone isn't folding at home? Especially in winter! Is it that you guys like cancer, alzheimers, etc and don't want a cure for these wonderful diseases? You don't have wifi? You can't fold for religious reasons? Please enlighten me!

 I assume the computer you are using now, as well as all other computers you own, are running it as well? It can even be done in the background on PCs using other wise wasted CPU cycles.

I fold up to 5 completed as well, rest of you 'saving your ps3's' must love cancer.

 Ah so you regularly donate to cancer funds? AIDS funds? Children funds? No...oh, do you love AIDS? Do you love child poverty? Stupid logic.

I fold....I don't leave it on 24/7 but I'd say I let it fold for a couple hours a day.



Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.

Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)

I fold!!!!

I couldn't see it wearing out a PS3 to be honest.... The only moving part there is the fan? I guess you could be afraid on fan failure... but seeing as there are multiple fans in every PC I have ever had and i'm yet to have one fail I couldn't see it being a big problem.
