But, in related news, I did just buy a PS3 on eBay (for $100 under retail value. ) and I can't wait to start folding on it.
I just read this post by Prof. Vijay Pande at Folding-community.org:

However, with that said, my advice to any consumer is to be an informed consumer (and I think this is dumas777's point, which is a good oine). Since we can't talk about the PS3 client right now, I can't tell you about its performance, so donors cannot be informed consumers regarding things like PS3 PPD. Once the client goes public, all of this will of course be well known and then it will be interesting to discuss the relative merits of CPU vs GPU vs SMP vs PS3 clients. With so many fairly different architectures supported, there will be lots of relative pros and cons.
I'm sorry I have to be so coy about this! I'm looking forward to talking about this more later.

Is this bad or good? I can't really tell, but he does sound excited.
I think it is safe to say it is good. You will be happy with your purchase. I wish I could afford more x1950 Vid cards as I'd love to run a GPU client on each core. I think this would produce more points. The SMP is designed for quad-cores. The SMP will improve my 24hr average without spending more $$$ though.

Step 1: Buy a wrist rocket.
Step 2: Hide in a bush outside of Big Buy Store
Step 3: Watch for the 13 year old with too much allowance.
Step 4: Profit!!! And fold.

Hey Vipe, nice to see you here bud!
Ahh, it's been a long time since I started this thread. Since going to the SMP on all 5 of my dual-cores, my 24hr average has exceeded 8K on several occasions. It has far surpassed my originall estimate.

I'm using updated alpha builds on 2 rigs and really like it. I'm downloading the beta right now.
I'm also uploading a 1760 pointer to your team in about 40 minutes. It represents less than 21 hours work. My E-6600 can do them in VMware in about 19.5 hours. If you guys have dual-cores available, you should really give it a whirl. They released a Windows SMP client last week. It too is far superior to the standard client! Compared to the Linux SMP it is dog slow and less stable. I run Linux through VMware on machines needing Windows.

Jumped to 9th place with one work unit.
LOL... I just wanted to contribute and demonstrate the power of the SMP at the same time. You and Chriso are rocking out on the PS3s! I've dedicated my N4750 as a folder for this team. Points from it will be far less dramatic. If I can maintain #1 on the other site I'll contribute more here when I can. We have to get you guys in the top 800 so EOC will show individual stats. Fold on my brothers!!!
