Folding@Home to the 360

With Folding@Home becoming a super hit on the PS3, you knew it was only a matter of time before Peter Moore and the 360 were going to want in on the action, and now it is starting to look like it may become a reality. Peter Moore recently went on record saying that they are always evaluating the project and whether it has value on the 360. Not the best way to phrase it, but it does look like they are looking at adding the functionality to the 360.

Two things immediately come to mind. First of all, Peter Moore needs to really think out his statements before launching them on the public, because the cause behind Folding@Home should be enough of a reason to want to run it, not because you want to downplay your competition. Secondly, if they did put this on the 360, could it handle it. I have the fear of the three rings of death rising three-fold if this comes to fruition. It may be why it is not on the box as we speak.

    I’m against this. I want MS to spend their time on making the gaming machine better, not on getting it to work with a program I can easily download onto my PC. It’s a gaming machine. And I could care less about non gaming aplications.

    The only downside to this is, as you say, smoking more 360s. My guess is that if they do it, it will be at the same time they release the 65nm chip, and only available on those machines.

    I was going to ask why you wonder why the system could handle it until I read used cisco’s mention of “smoking”. I tend to forget that the system runs so hot. Still, I don’t imagine something like this would run the system hot. It’s not like it needs to use much in the way of graphical ability.

    The heat issue was more directed at the failure rate of the 360. Excess heat from the processing of these units will agitate the already poor epoxy that is suppose to keep the chips connected to the motherboard.
