    Got a PS3?

    Anyone got a PS3 who would consider helping medical science for 24 hours?

    You see, Team HEXUS is involved with a project called FOLDING @ HOME.

    Folding involves your PS3 running a process that folds proteins, and makes all the possible combo's including the ones that make people sick,

    Then the results are uploaded, and it goes towards the greater good.

    The CPU on a PC can do it.
    The Radeon graphics cards based around X1900's do it like a supercomputer (uber fast)
    The Quad Core Intels are like demi gods...

    but there is only one real god of FOLDING....

    the PS3.... http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-PS3.html

    Want to use it's power? While it's not being used for games of course.

    yep - we are in, will sign up. If me or the wife are not playing the ps3 (which is not often) we have left folding working away in the background while away. Is for a good cause
