So.. I just got into Folding

[Preliatus]

I have no honest idea where to post this, but I'll do it here.

Uh.. I got into folding a while ago, but stopped doing it after my computer has decided to go south. After getting my PS3 and tinkering with it I realised that it supports Folding@Home and I've been folding on it ever since. I think the name for it is Prel-PS3.

My question is that I'm folding for Team 33, but I am wondering if I really shouldn't due to using a C-Boxen, instead of a normal usual Boxen, due this being HardOCP and more computer based than console based.

we still have a few ps3's folding away for team 33. just because its a console doesn't mean anything, hardforums has a pretty big console crowd. it may not be the most efficient way of folding but science is science and points are points, no matter how it gets done. but hey its up to you since its your ps3. either way welcome to the [H]orde!

Welcome to the horde!

If you need any help setting up folding on a computer let us know. That way you can get even more work done!

The cell processor is still a pretty impressive piece of silicon. It doesn't produce as many points as the modern hex- or dodeca- core CPUs do, but it still crunches the work units for a good cause.

And if you get that PC back up and running (how about a microcenter sandy bridge combo?) let us know.

Welcome to Team 33!

Glad to have you ! Nice to see you post in our DC sub-forum.

We used to have tons of people folding on PS3's. Welcome!
