Folding@home embraces Playstation 3

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 :)

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.

Well protien folding basically will help us solve a good number of diseases as well it will greatly help us decipher the genetic code
