Sunday Night Fold-a-Thon. Who's in?

Sunday Night Fold-a-Thon

A user at the SCEA boards has rallied up the PS community to support the upcoming Folding @ Home Project.

Sunday Night Foldathon (S.N.F) is a great way to help Stanford University's with there new Playstation 3 Folding@Home program.

The S.N.F event is simple.  On Sunday Night (March. 25th 2007) everyone who wants to participate in the S.N.F event simply turn there PS3 on and start the folding program, could be anytime you want or when you goto bed, you may let the program run as long as you want but would be great if it could atleast last till 7am Monday morning,  its all up to you since anything helps. This is to see how much help we (the playstation community) can be for this program and to show them that the feature is being widely used and maybe saving lives in the process.

Folding@Home To be Released on Thursday (Mar. 22nd 2007) for PLAYSTATION®3 and available after downloading the latest 1.6 Firmware update.

Some guy left his PS3 on for 2 months straight with linux running. I dont think you have to worry about it overheating. 

also, check out the sticky at the top of the ps3 forums about Folding@Home!walton13

will this over heat the system? I thought that red light indicate that the PS3 is in standby mode, and the Folding@home still can work.aka_aj03
