i'm currently back at home with my PS3 still at my apartment where i go to college. so before i left, i put my PS3 on folding@home. i'l probably be back at my apartment this Wednesday... meaning that i would have folded for a week straight.

so this got me wondering how long you people have folded@home for a single period of time.

its already on your PS3. you will probably just need to update it (which it does automatically when you select it from the XMB).

the program pretty much gives the processing power of the PS3 to Stanford University for them to study various proteins that can hopefully lead to cures of various diseases.

All it is is a program that does calculations for different diseases to see how a protein reacts in a certain way more or less. Basically your PS3 is doing calculations for research into diseases which one day may help scientists have a better understanding of it and maybe a cure or new treatment.

I lost my father too cancer, this is also a reason why I bought a ps3 because I want to change the world. I have 24 units I have folded and I am folding right now all day everyday.

I just got my system friday, and I've folded two units. 16 out of my systems 48 hour life has been spent on folding..lol. Plan on doing a lot more to help out, and it was easy today as I was watching football the whole time.

i think over a month is the longest w/o interruption... but i am always folding, folding right now, anytime my PS3 isn't being used for gaming or viewing purposes, it is used for folding!!
