I do prefer the PC for serious gaming (not that I've done any of that in quite some time) however for sheer ease of pick up and playability you can't beat a console, imho
One thing I love about having my XBox (original not 360) is that I can play on it without feeling guilty that I'm wasting good folding time
Not sure I'd want a PS3 as it would end up folding 24/7 and for the money a cheap Conroe would be much better for that
Back slightly on topic - the PS3 FLOPS is now down to about a third of what it was at its peak and is now equal to the rest of the clients put together. Shame it's not higher but there are still a good 22,000 active machines out there which can't be bad
CPUs have a lot of new active clients according to that.
Seems like a lot of PS3s are being turned off / used more now than when Folding was a novelty at the start. The effect can be seen with a couple of the teams who are set to overtake us, their daily totals are on the slip slide where as ours are still pretty solid.
