THE DISTRIBUTED computing network designed to study protein folding and protein folding disease, Folding@home, has announced plans to launch a service on the upcoming Sony Playstation 3.

I'll be running it for sure

If I can afford the Ps3, I'll run it as well. Really harness the power of the Cell.

I never understood what fah is. The only thing I know about it is that its something you run on your computer and has to do something with internet. But what? I dont know... Is there any body who can give me a breif desc of fah?

Ive never read up much on it but it seems to be a long winded computer model. Seeing as the requirements for the model are resonably low they did the same as SETI.
