Hey guys, I'm curious but how many units have all you guys have completed? I'm on my 2nd one. Would be good though if we could run it while watching a dvd, i would use it alot lot more :-)
wats da point...wat good do I get from leaving my ps3 on for 4-5 hours...dat stuff probably scyrockets one;s electric bill:P ....i would think about it if the ps3 had some type of energy saver option

the point is helping to find cures for cancer and diseases faster. its more about giving than receiving here
I completed 57 so far. But I'm gonna slow down, I calculated that if I continue at this speed my parents will have to pay 132 euro'sat the end of this yearfor runningFolding only (electricity bill)

lol cammon man, the ps3 doesnt use alot of electricity, atleast use folding at home for 2-3hours a day & the point is to find cures for diseases & cancer just as wut mav said, I feel that it is right because my dad died from cancer & im sure no one wants to lose their parents to a disease that could have been cured just by leaving your PS3 on to donate time even if it's 1 hour everyday.
I have 32 WUs. The electricity???? Wow the world if full or self rightous stingy cowards these days. Get over your 1 dollar cost to leave the PS3 on fer a couple hours.
I can't seem to get mine to work. i have downloaded the software and i get all the graphics of the "folding" and the world spinning round but 0 units. Should i have entered something in the top 3 lines?
you should see an estimated time, and estimated time to finish, is your percentage going up at all, b/c your stats don't really change until you complete one in full, usually about 8 hrs.
about 57, im on my 58 i think, usually i keep it on for a whole week, to do my folding, and next i wont have it on much, instead play games on it, then turn it off, let the big beauty sleep alil , waiting for METAL GEAR 4, ohhh i know id be up for a month striaght playing that game lol
oh i forgot to tell you guys as confirmed in PSMs magazine June 2007 "The research team (Standford) worked out a method in which the PS3 could process a work unit in 8 hours, thus allowing the system to berun safely overnight, so that the console could be used for gaming and entertainment during the day. It's worth mentioning, however, that the PS3 can be safely left on 24/7 without issue (tested both at Stanford University and our own labs at PSM), so you can fold your heart out."
i hope that helps for everyone worried about leaving their PS3 on.

Nice if you have a link to this...People could shut their mouth and stop complaining :wink:
I have a question. I heard that if you don't finish a work unit within two days, it doesnt count because they give it to someone else. Is this true?jdogthebomb09
Never got a unit stolen...Even if it makes a week I didn't Fold.

wow man im really sorry about that, my dad was recently diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer, he went through alot of kemo and radiation but its now on his liver so he may be taking part in a clinical study for an untested drug... this may sound a bit messed up but its good to know that im not the only person who has to live through something like this but i am truly sorry for your loss
This folding programm is since 2000. On the windows platform it has been done 183 TFLOPS in 7 years with a total of 1.724.164 CPU's. The beast has done 509 TFLOPS in half a year with a total of 153.987 CPU's.
