mine has been on for the last 48 hours straight. btw, if no one is running that, then why do the new stats show almost 15,000 ACTIVE clients and over 370 TFLOPS of power? This number will keep increasing with the more PS3's running this program. When we have 40,000 running, that would reach 1 PETAFLOP!!! Btw, out of 2 million PS3's, 40,000 is a small figure...

» For Comparision
F@H typically sends 20,000 frame work units to PCs. A PC with the processor faster than that in the xbox 360 takes about 2 days to finish the unit.
F@H is loading up PS3s with 400,000 frame work units, which they easily finish within 8 hours.
Clearly, the Cell is a superior processor. Kiss my ass, MCS, you can't argue with this one.
Stats via Engadget.com, by the way.

"A PC with the processor faster than that in the xbox 360 takes about 2 days to finish the unit."
Crow, stop pulling numbers out of your a***. The floating-point power of a typical PC processor is a fraction of that of Cell in the PS3 AND Xenon in the 360

» - PS3 Vs. X360: Another Aspect -
I’m one Great Japanese who lives in the country called the Great Japan.
To help you understand, I’ll give you a very simple and concise lecture. I’m a young guy who earns about $100 every single hour. I earn $1,500 every two days. So, for me, $1,000 (the cost of the PS3 + taxes + accessories + some more things) is no problem. All those X360 lovers hate PS3s because they can’t afford expensive products from the Great Japan. All PS3s in the Great Japan are constantly sold out; there’re so many rich ppl here. X360 owners are game addicts; and game addicts are poorly educated; so all the game addicts (Xbox 360 buyers) live off minimum wage (about $7 an hour). Like the former president of Sony said, just work more hours to buy a PS3 if you don’t have enough money, immatured guys.
[Easy comparisons between PS3 and X360]
* PS3 can be compared as a very expensive ‘luxury car’.
* X360 is just an average car from ‘GM’ (General Motors).
You can just own a GM car then live your lives for 10 years; no problems. You can go to your workplace and do all sort of things with your little GM car; however, if you want to get more features (airbags, superb tires and all kinds of state-of-the-art electronics), better quality components and better deigned car, you must buy a very expensive luxury car.
All those poor X360 owners say that you don’t need PS3s because the X360 consoles can do so much. That’s completely idiotic. Let me bring up the following example. A cheap GM car can move at the speed of 110 km/h without getting any damage to the components on the car. A very expensive luxury car can go at the speed of 200 km/h without getting any damage to the components. In real life situations, you almost never have any chances to go faster than 110 km/h even if you own a ‘luxury car’ because of many factors such as speed limitation, traffic conditions, et cetera; therefore, poor GM car owners can say that their cheep cars are as good as unnecessarily expensive ‘luxury cars’ because GM cars can do anything the luxury cars can do. I’m rolling on the floor laughing. Laugh my ass off, you little cute westerners. Just because cheap GM cars can do most things which can be done by expensive luxury cars, it doesn’t mean you only have to buy cheap GM cars. If you have more $$$, and can afford better and more advanced cars then go for it.
Every time you little, cute Americans and Europeans purchase our PlayStations, the Great Japan becomes better and richer! I’m all for it!
* Show us your money!
* Make the Great Japan even richer!
* Just send us the $$$ then we will give you little gifts called PlayStation! And then waste away your lives on the machines! You game addicted little, cute Americans and Europeans!
* We Great Japanese love you little westerner customers; because of the free trade, the Great Japan is almost as rich as America which is the richest country in the whole world! Just compare the sizes of both countries, America is 50 times (yes, that’s fifty) bigger than the Great Japan in terms of the area size; and the Great Japan is as rich as the little, cute America!

» what a dumba**
let me start off by quoting you...
"the Great Japan is almost as rich as America which is the richest country in the whole world! ...and the Great Japan is as rich as the little, cute America!"
How does Japan go from ALMOST as rich as America to AS rich as America in one paragraph?
If that post was intended as a joke, you forgot to include the punch line.
stupid little kid, when are you gonna learn the "Great Japan" as you call it isn't really so great. how you sit in front of that computer screen and make complete sentences is beyond me.
Let's take a closer look into the facts. The US's GDP in 2006 was an estimated $13 trillion dollars compared to that of Japan which was a measly $4 trillion. if you don't believe me you can look here https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html
I do encourage you to read more about the GREAT AMERICA here: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/us.html#Econ
Your comparison of luxury cars and GM cars to ps3's and 360's is piss-poor at BEST. I bet you thought it was just coincidence that your parents had the same surnames before they married! You're just another Internet-addicted idiot suffering from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the mind. Now, if you care to apologize for wasting my shamefully wasted time, I'll consider accepting it.
oh and one more thing, the US is only 26x bigger than Japan not 50. as you quoted and requoted here: "America is 50 times (yes, that%u2019s fifty) bigger than the Great Japan"
You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity.

» TFLOPS
Teraflops is NOT an indicator of the overall performance of a general purpose CPU. It only measures floating point performance (Trillions of Floating Point Operations per Second = TFLOPS). IBM/Sony hasn't to my knowledge released any info on how fast Cell can process other types of data.
Also:
41 TFLOPS for GPUs/697 active units = 58.8 GFLOPS/GPU.
346 TFLOPS for the PS3/14138 active units = 24.5 GFLOPS/Cell CPU.
The average GPU used for F@H is 2.4 times faster than the PS3.
Not trying to say anything here, just a point.
I have yet to do the update on my own PS3, but when I do I'll definitely enable F@H. I've been folding for years, to see it become so easily and publicly accessible is awesome.

» More TFLOPS
Just because there are 1.6 million PC running the progrom don't mean all are active. Thats just the total of PCs that ran it since they started. But it takes 1050 PCs to run 1 TFLOP on average and only 40 PS3 to run 1 TFLOP. And since the post the number of TFLOPS for PS3 went up over 200 and PCs only went up 1 TFLOP.
