The diseases which the Folding@Home project stands to address are too numerous to address. Compared to other supercomputers, the networked PS3s would be in the highest quintile on the Green500 list in terms of power consumed per cycle, and future power reductions are found in the latest generation of PS3 chips.

The ideal way to power game consoles is to buy those power outlet strips that shut off all power to a console when not in use. As a gamer, this is very disturbing news!
