PS3 Folders

How many of you guys fold on your PS3 console ?

( I will ask for a poll of this once I don't see any other such poll.)

I fold on my PS3.

My ps3 is a folding monster... 20 WU in a week!

I raise my hand to this! I sometimes have both running (one is mine, one is my dad's. He doesn't let me use it when he's home, but when he's gone on trips I borg his

)

Agreed, in a week and two days not counting the Gran Turismo time I put in, my PS3 has done 31 units.

Aside from movies that's the only other thing I use it for.

How many SPEs does the PS3 have? I know a full Cell CPU has 8, but didn't they cut this down to 4 for the PS3? The PS3 sure does a helluva lot with what it has so I wonder how fast the full Cell CPU would be.

EDIT: PS3's can use only 7 out of the 8 SPEs. Also 1 is reserved for the OS so only 6 are used to fold.

I think 6 are enabled. 1 completely disabled and 1 backup one in case of failure.

I do, it supplements my folding stats some what, something like 300pts per day. It dosent do as much as I hopped but its better than getting screwed with a hd-dvd player!

300? It should do 900...

Dionysos · Mar 10, 2008

I've got one folding.

Griff65 · Mar 10, 2008

Very tempted if it does give you a guaranteed 900pts a day...

If you let it run all day, it gets something like 966 ppd.

tech9 · Mar 10, 2008

Mine completed 20 WU in less then a week.

I must point out though, if your goal is points (even more so then getting a PS3 for its gaming/bluray capabilities) then you can likely build a decent quad-core for about the same price of a PS3, or less, and it will net you at least three times the PPD of a PS3.

PS3 is a good system, but definitely not the best bang for the buck in terms of PPD. That title belongs solely to the quads at this point in time.

PS3 is a great investment even if you only use it for watching bluray movies and folding imo.

leelegend · Mar 10, 2008

yep....mine is on 24/7
