XBOX 360 Folding @ Home

Just curious as to whether 360 owners would be willing to help with the Folding @ Home project as well.  If 360 owners donated their down time on their boxes as well I think the project could be done and cures found even faster.  Finding cures to prolong life is more important than arguing over a few hours of entertainment.  If any 360 owners have a heart to maybe they should send microsoft an email to ask if they can participate.

I trust my PS3 to cure cancer not my xbox 360.

That was random LOL!!!! 

I guess I'm lucky that I bought my 360 to play games and not to perform complex mathematical calculations.

You guys have fun with folding @ home... if that's possible.

Heh, i suppose if you're not having any games to play then curing cancer is a good time filler. Puckhog04

it be more wiser if microsft dont introduce it..the 360 will be dead in hours..overheating will get the best of the system..and with the short lifespan the 360 console have in it will be shorten even more if they use folding@home..elementz28

I agree with the overheating point,honestly,I dont know why Microsoft arent fully addressing this issue.

I remember seeing a video of some dude making an egg on the 360 LOL

I have a PC, that's all i need. If i had Resistance and a PS3, yes, i'd get bored of it fairly quickly.

As for sacrificing gaming time for a noble cause, sure, i'm all for it. It's too bad i already donate a hefty amount of money to the cancer funds, which is why doing it on a system is of no consequence to me.

Yeah,since games are more important than one of the principle causes of death,right :roll: ?

You might as well run the 'folding' project... you sure don't have any decent games to play.mruurds

I'm interested in this whole Folding @ Home thing, but how exactly is it helping to cure cancer? Does it run tests or simulations of new drugs... ?

Yeah,since games are more important than one of the principle causes of death,right :roll: ?

So you're essentially using the PS3 to cure cancer instead of playing games? That must make you feel real good at night. I donate money to cancer organizations, i don't need to do it on a system.

I guess I was too naive to think that people wouldn't turn this into a PS3/360 flaming thread. My fault.

No,I play games,but if you think that Folding at home is unnecessary on the Ps3 then you clearly shouldnt be giving donations to cancer organizations.

Where did i say it was unnecessary? I said that it doesn't interest me because i already donate money. Does that bother you in some way? Heh, move on.

Folding@home has been out for a day on the PS3. Who knows if it will cause PS3's to start frying left and right. No PS3's on the planet have been stressed all that much. If folding@home is the most intensive CPU usage the PS3 has seen so far, then this may just be a perfect way to do a world-wide stress test on the system.

Fortunately folding doesn't utilize most of the system resources except the CPU and a little GPU power. No USB usage, no need for constant bluetooth usage, no Blu-Ray usage etc etc.

The same could be said for the 360. We don't really know what kinds of hardware problems cause the ring of death. It may be faulty hardware that would never get used if it was running folding@home.

Even if this is just a Sony PR campaign, who really cares, it's a freakin awesome project. I would really like to see MS get into the project with the 360 as well. This type of thing should be standard in all future consoles.

My aunt died of cancer, i'm very much aware of what Cancer can do, thanks. I wasn't saying it was unnecessary, relax people.

Agreed. This is really pathetic when the Wii60's try to downplay a great effort like this that Sony and it's PS3 users are doing, to try to make it sound like a joke.

Actually the project started out on PCs and you can download the client to your PC.  However the project has been performing a lot better on the processors in the consoles which seem to crunch the numbers faster.

Yea, apparently because i don't want Folding@home or a PS3 for that matter, i'm an evil person who should stop donating to an organization that is trying to help people. :roll:

People help in different ways, i have money to donate whereas others might not. If people can't wrap their head around the fact that i don't want Folding@home because i donate money already then that's their problem.

You implied that.

Yes,it does bother me,because I actually know in one way or another in the long run,Folding@Home can actually help cancer victims.

Anyways,have fun playing 360 ports lol!
