As of today, the PS3 Fanboy
Folding@home team has broken into the top 200 Folding@Home teams and now stand at 199th, beating out
Joystiq (533),
IGN (209), and
Digg (438). Thanks everybody! There's no way we could have achieved this without the continued efforts from everybody here. If you haven't joined up yet, we'd love it if you would join up with us and help us and Folding@Home fight cancer, our team code is 57793, so join up today. Also, major props to
Big Delicious, who holds down the single-user top score with an insane 330 Work Units completed. Now that is some serious dedication!
In honor of this achievement, we're hosting a Folding@Home event tonight. Before you go to sleep, fire up the
Folding@Home application and do a bit of good for the struggle against cancer. If you want to join our team, we'd really appreciate that -- but regardless of your affiliation we'd love it if you'd chip in tonight.

@Johnathon: "why cant the xbox have folding at home"
There is no reason why it can't. But the nature of the cell processor makes it much better at Folding calculations than any current processor save some GPU models.
Personally, since I'm more into the humanitarian aspect than the penis waving... I think it would be just fine to have it on the Xbox.

Personally, since I'm more into the penis waving than the humanitarian aspect... I dont think it would be possible to have it on the Xbox.

Woo hoo! Tygerjoe in the house! uh... well, I'm #8 right now. I pretty much always fold when my system's idle. Started around the 15 spot and worked my way up. Good job guys! Nice friendly competition I'd say! WOOT!
