Yes, PC users have been doing this for years. The folding program uses your spare CPU cycles to "fold" protein sequences to help find a cure for some sort of illness.

PS3 has a powerful CPU, but doesn't mean shit when the videocard is last generation quality. Pretty fucking stupid for Sony spending so much money reseasrching its Cell processor when the videocard is the most important part of a console.

It's also a divided card. 250/250

Where-as the x-box is allowed to divided it to whatever the developers want.
