Thumbs up Folding@Home (PS3)

Came across this option again on my PS3 and started doing some digging around about it.

Seems its a great system for linking up independant processors to actually accomplish great things.I won't even pretend to totally understand how it works and what 'protein folding' is all about but it seems that the F@H system is actually working amazingly well.

Does anyone use it or let it run when their PS3 is not in use?

I joined the 'Pistonheads Team' a few weeks ago but only just realised that a Scoobynet team (47201) exists so I've shifted my allegiance.

Anyone feel like racking up some work units for the SN team?
