    Ditto. We should buy a hundred PS3s, and have them run Folding@Home 24/7. We'd cure death in a matter of seconds!

    I have done this before, but when I reloaded XP onto my computer I forgot what it was called. Glad to have seen a site for it again! I'll join the group when I install and such.

    I tried this once but wasn't a big fan of it. It got stuck on one protein and just stopped.
    But maybe I'll put it on the new computer...
