Regardless, the same argument applies to a PC running Folding@home. You're still using power (probably more with a PC). So, if you think there is little to show from Folding@home on a PS3, then you have to feel the same for Folding@home on a PC. The only difference is that the PS3 is more efficient with the power it uses since it's able to process more and therefore accomplish more for the project.

Monetary value? Isn't this about curing diseases, or did I miss something? I think you meant $150 a year.

Considering you can use the same application on the PC, which is already always on, it seems a bit much for something with little to no monetary value I don’t know…that’s almost $150 a month…with nothing to show for it.

But if I did, $12 seems pretty reasonable. I really expected it to be much higher. I can’t imagine running it for an entire month without turning it off. But if I did, $12 seems pretty reasonable.
