I usually turn off my computer and PS3 when I’m not using them; due to where I live having been built a while ago, I also don’t trust that I could get enough power to run a small computer, PS3, small TV, and air conditioner in my room when I’m also on the same breaker as the living room, which has a big A/C, big TV, and a computer.
Would Folding@Home get screwed up when I unplug either system? I unplug one when I want to use the other so I don’t draw too much power.
Please use your FReep name, so I have a chance to track you and help out.
Let it run 24/7 when you are gone and watch the results pile up. The PS3 will use about 2.3 amps per hour when running at full blast.
Check your electric bill and see if you even notice the difference.
