    I'm afraid i'm already folding for a team but the reason I posted here was to see if people would make a TWC folding team as its the right sort of community and it may be able to gather many participants

    For people who don't know what folding is visit this site:
    http://folding.stanford.edu/

    Especialy those people with ps3's need to get in on the wagon as these things may be overpriced entertainment systems but they're damn good folders, (processing 30 times the amount of a windows pc with the smp client). Having 6,000 ps3's up in a short time has overtaken all of the pc's folding and I think they are getting something like 400gigaflops per second now.

    I have a better idea:
    Why not turn your PC/PS3 off when you aren't using it, and donate whatever you save on your energy bill to those researchers so they can buy a MDGRAPE-3 supercomputer

    It only costs about $9million and it can put out more than a PetaFLOPS, which is a lot more than F@H will reach any time soon.

    Or every one of us can save up and get one of these each:

    But seriously thats a good idea if thats what they'd spend it on, but after they've got it, i'm still folding on my pc
