Re: What's the point of folding @ home?
This is what I ccan get out of folding@home


So, lets give an example, that your PS3 generates 8Watts, and you pay $15! With folding@home running, your PS3 will generate 10Watts, and you pay $20! Those extra 2Watts you are producing with your PS3 are transfered to the University. The university doesnt have to pay, as you will be paying them with those extra $5! So, the bottom point is, if you are ready to spend $5 extra to save some guys (mayb u) you are free to do it...but it is at a cost! Up to you now!
