Playstation 3 Dominating Folding@home

PS3 users across the world are really getting behind the Folding@home program. Here are the stats as of 8am Eastern this morning:

Code:
OS Type 	           Current TFLOPS* 	Active CPUs       	Total CPUs

Windows 	              151   	              158943	                1624489
Mac OS X/PowerPC 	7	                  8706	                      95321
Mac OS X/Intel 	             7	                       2700	                   7184
Linux 	                           35	                    24924	               215628
GPU 	                           41	                    689	                         2178
PLAYSTATION®3 	         251	                 10238	                     11172

Total 	                           492	                    206200 	              1955972
Thats Playstation 3 machines producing over 251 trillion floating point operations per second, 100 trillion more than ten times the number of active PC CPUs.

Amazing stuff, what a great start to this very worthy cause.

I don't really understand the statistics, but I know that this is definately good for the Folding@home project.

I mean, there are still a lot of people who havent used it yet...when that starts *boom* even better results
