Well, today was the big day!! The new firmware from Sony was released this morning which among many fixes brought out the much anticipated folding@home client!!

I got right down to business after the long download. After the firmware update you have an additonal download for the client. From there you just have to start it up, accept a few agreement thingys, then put in your team info and your off!! The client itself is really pretty and fun to watch and play around with. I am blown away of how fast it is, I started out with a 500000 WU and it said it would only take 8 hours to eat through!!!!!!!! My Core 2 Duo would take at least a day or two to eat through that!!!

Pretty impressive peice of work. Also, I was surprised to see that after running for an hour my machine wasn't even that hot. Yeah, it was putting out some warm air but nothing like I thought it would!! Makes me wonder if Sony programmed it so it doesn't even use 100 percent of the processing power inorder to keep the temps down and expand the life of the system.
