For comparison:

GOPBiker and Texas Booster produce about the same number of points per day, just over 2,000 on average.

I have around 50 Windows systems, some fairly old, that crunch proteins for the team. The last report is that 44 have finished a work unit in the last 7 weeks.

GOPBiker has three systems. THREE. I think that one is a PS3, but it may be a computer running SMP folding.

Thats the power of the PS3 and its new architecture - it is an incredible computational success.

(Of course, my kids want one when they introduce new games ...)

Let your kids try out SOCOM: Confrontation for PS3. It will let them be electronic Navy SEALs :)

tb, Thanks for the mention. I am running two dual amd’s and one single Intel 2.25.

The amd’s are running vista with vmware server and the linux folding client.

The intel is xp pro with the windows client (not service).

amd rocks although now they are saying the multi-core intels are beating them. whatever.

I would like a playstation but cannot justify it in my own mind except for folding. How much electricity does it use I wonder?

fold on
