Who here folds? Just curious.

Bump, I can't believe such an important issue is being ignored

i do, we should start a rosetta team for TWC

I'm afraid i'm already folding for a team but the reason I posted here was to see if people would make a TWC folding team as its the right sort of community and it may be able to gather many participants

For people who don't know what folding is visit this site:

Especialy those people with ps3's need to get in on the wagon as these things may be overpriced entertainment systems but they're damn good folders, (processing 30 times the amount of a windows pc with the smp client). Having 6,000 ps3's up in a short time has overtaken all of the pc's folding

and I think they are getting something like 400gigaflops per second now.

I have a better idea:
Why not turn your PC/PS3 off when you aren't using it, and donate whatever you save on your energy bill to those researchers so they can buy a MDGRAPE-3 supercomputer

It only costs about $9million and it can put out more than a PetaFLOPS, which is a lot more than F@H will reach any time soon.
