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.

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.
