xbox 360 folding?

I know this will sound silly, but what if they ported folding at home to the 360. The 360 has 1teraflop or something around there. It could easily fold quickly.

As soon as they make a Linux kit for it you will probably be able to fold on it. However it may be a while if ever before there is optimized code for the 360

The problem with folding on the regular xbox's is (i've run them a long time w/ linux on them) the power bricks get very hot (actually there was a recall on them) and they aren't too fast. Under 1ghz, so it isn't going to do much for you. The 360, if linux is ever ported to it will tear it up though.
