When you get the chance to run Folding@Home, join up on the Gamespot team, it is for all the gamespot people and friends. With the power of our PS3's we could get quite a high ranking worldwide. This is all assuming it is like the other folding clients that allows you to fold on a team.

The Team Number is 32721 and is called Gamespot @ Home
Heres the team page http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=32721

It would be fantastic if you fellas helped to contribute to an already existing Gamespot Folding team located here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=13926836&page=0. The field of folding teams is pretty aggressive and it would make more sense to combine all our efforts for the worthy cause of cancer research instead of going against each other :)

I'll send Walton a PM to see if we can work something out...

Taken from: http://www.scei.co.jp/folding/en/index.html "The Folding@homeâ„¢ Distributed Computing Project at Stanford University Since October 2000, over one million CPUs throughout the world have participated in this distributed computing project. The goal of this project is to research protein folding and misfolding to gain an understanding of how these are related to disease. Targeted diseases include (but are not limited to) Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many forms of cancer. Your participation will help accelerate the understanding of these and other diseases. For more information, please visit Stanford University's Folding@homeâ„¢ website located at: http://folding.stanford.edu" Just check the homepages for more accurate information :)

I wonder if anyone knows that this has been on the PC for a while? This is just a marketing scheme imo I doubt many will actually do it.

It's supported by a very large amount of people with major websites contributing to it. There are various publications out now as a result of folding @ home that shows the results of this project. I can understand some of your doubt, but I hardly think from a marketing standpoint the PS3, PC or Mac would sell more units based on being able to run this...

Exactly, many pople have pc's anyway so i doubt they would buy a ps3 just for folding, just like those who dont have a pc wouldnt buy a pc just for folding. It doesnt really have to be a scheme for a major company to support something like this, because people like me who have loved ones(my girlfriend that i have been friends with since 7th grade- i am in college now, weve been dating for two years) who are going through chemo therapy are just happy to help the advancement of the technologies used to treat cancer in any way we can. Its a nice thing to have and I am glad sony is supporting it.
