What is folding@home for the Ps3?

Question

Just wanted to know what is that? what does it do? Thanks Guys!

Answer 1

You donate the power of your PS3's Cell Processor for Cancer research as well as other research when you are not using it. Its for a good cause and its a good thing to do when you aren't using it. It has no rewards or any special qualities really other than you feeling better about yourself for doing so.

Answer 2

Just to add on. You can also download folding@home to a PC or Mac in order to have more machines in your home helping a good cause. But the PS3 seem to do folding@home a lot better then any other machine.
