    Just started the first WU with the PS3 so we'll see how much power it's putting out.

    For anyone else with a PS3 folding post your first couple of results here and see how well the cell processor is doing.

    Aww that's no fun, what's the point of having an 8 core processor if it's only going to register as 1 :chk:.

    I'm just waiting to go home tonight and see the system dead, I've had it running for about 20 hours straight now so I guess I'll find out how much it takes to overheat.

    Not sure how hot the European version is going to get since they ripped a bunch of stuff out but the North American version gets fairly hot after running overnight, so Sniper you might want to be careful how long you leave it folding at a time.

    i really wonder how thats going to work. Like i guess i can understand if they have some SMP type client, but if you don't run the work unit again for awhile it will just reset, therefore nothing would really get done??
