I'm going to download the software with my PS3. Supposedly a PS3 equals the amount of 100,000 Home PC's.

Where does it say that? All i see is "Chatani said the PS3 processor is around 10 times faster than most computers, so the consoles have the potential to make a difference. "

Eh I might bother to contribute when two things happen:
1. PS3 drops under 150$ in price.
2. When I don't want an Xbox 360.

Wow you guys are sorta idiots about this subject. I have been Folding on my computer for years now. And yes the PS3 has a LOT more CPU power then a PC, but PC still is running a lot better because of the quantity. Complicated stuff, just run and know you're helping people.

Sounds nice, but I bet that the PS3 is ruining more lives than saving them.

Agreed.
Although there is a great game coming out where you can fly a dragon and rip monsters eyes out.. Great looking game.
I will find out the name

PS3 doesn't have enough games out, it's quiet sad.

Just came across this today and thought about this thread...
PS3 Pwning F@H Leaderboard
PS3s are currently accounting for 734 of the 990 teraflops Folding processes at peak capacity; in other words, Cell processors have more than tripled the project's power even though they only account for around 13% of the total machines grinding away at any given time.
