We need more members and this thread needs to be more active to spark interest in the Folding Team.

So I'm reviving it.


My Folding Status:
I've been running 24/7 on a Sempron laptop and a few hours a day on an Athlon 64 3000. They're too slow. So I searched the garage for parts and came up with an Athlon 64 3400. I tore apart an old Compaq desktop and used the parts for a new dedicated machine. I just installed Folding@Home on it a few minutes ago. Also, I'm still waiting for the PS3 client to be released. In a few weeks, I expect to have increased my daily production by about tenfold.

:moreilly:

Sweet!!! You are the man brewin!!

I am been folding on my Core 2 Duo on both cores 24/7 minus wow time.

I to can't wait for the ps3 client to come out!! With only two of those on our team we should be able to jump up in ranks like crazy!!!

Brewin do you know when it is coming out?!! And how will you get it?

It would be even more exciting if Dave wasn't the only other person folding currently.

No one seems to know when it will be released. Since Sony is actually doing the porting, not even the people at Stanford seem to know.

Read here for rumors and whatnot:
http://forum.folding...ps3-client.html

I'm guessing that it will be downloadable from the Playstation Store.

I'm afraid that they might have it done and are just waiting for the PS3 to be released in Europe. So everyone can start at the same time or some crap like that. It would probably be March/April then...

I just read this post at folding-community.org. Based on the latest PR from Havok about their physics engine and benchmarks IBM has done on the Cell, one PS3 might be comparable to 21 P4 3.2GHz processors.

This is all optimistic speculation, but interesting nonetheless.
