  All the PCs that contribute to folding@home might have had something to do with reaching this milestone

  Fair enough I didn't read it because it reads as a marketing statement designed to say PS3s are the only part of foldin@home that matters. PS3's do contribute a large amount of processing power. This gets fairly complicated quickly but here are the stats:

  I am curious how the source of your article claims 600000 PS3s are running folding@home when there are only 250,000 PS3s contributing.

    Thats not entirely accurate. Months ago stated that there was 400,000 PS3 registered and contributing to F@H and that equals 800,000 teralops. Now there is 600,000 registered PS3's which equals 1,200,000 petaflops.
    
    EDIT: i found another article thats gives more detail here
    
    another
    
    Also huntyr my guess is they haven't updated the actual number yet.

      You need to make sense and back up your statements with facts.
      
      Months ago stated? What stated? who stated? 400,000 active and contributing systems all at the same time? Maybe, but in reality I doubt it, generally they keep a fast tally of what systems are actively working on packets when the page is generated. Just because you have a list of registered systems, it doesn't mean those users were dedicated to produce full data. Many F@H users often install the program then nuke it shortly after.
      
      What you're claiming right now is speculation about these numbers, not fact. Come up with fact before you ramble on like a general fanboy.
      
      On top of that are you actually observing the current statistics, registered systems to actual active systems? I doubt that as well. You need to clean up your numbers because this stinks of absolute fanboy bias.

        You could look up facts but you don't want to? Then you rate me down because you can't be bothered to back up your claims? Yeah in your world it would make sense to do that. Sadly you only prove your lack of credibility and push your steaming BS on the world as if it was true.
        
        Registered users means nothing, active users means something, we can talk about the theory of what could happen but the reality is that there are not 600,000+ active users. Had you even read my statement you would see that people install these clients and pull out all the time. Some of them don't even complete a single cycle.
        
        F@H updates dynamically, there's no number to adjust unless you mean falsely representing a userbase that doesn't exist. Registered accounts means nothing at all, maybe in a few decades you'll comprehend the difference between registered versus active. I mean wow look at the neoseeker member database of registered versus active accounts. It's blatantly simple yet you can't even understand it.
        
        Go suck up some more marketing hype and pawn it at us as truth.

        Ok, have you even looked at the page i linked? It updates every hour which means it is the most accurate information you can get.
        
        If there are 600,000 registered users as Sony claims its a meaningless number. There are 251768 PS3s running F@H which would mean more than half the registered users are not running the client.

  Fact: Corportate companies lie
  Fact: huntyr posted a link to the F@H main website which has the most accurate data
  Fact: F@H on PS3's 250k not 600k

  Fact: Arguing with finalblade98 is worthless and a waste of time because he is an immature imbecile.
