M$ less than enthusiastic about F@h on Xbox360... - Club CDFreaks

Yes, it's a sad and commercially-orientated response to the question of getting F@h going on the Xbox360.

I put it on the News Front Page if anyone would like to read it...

good article, thanks for posting! if M$ did make a folding client for 360 it would add a huge amount of processing power to the FAH cluster, the 360 should be able to fold faster than the ps3 because of the ATI GPU, so it would have the GPU folding and the 3 core PPC CPU folding, whereas the ps3 only has the CELL folding. the only problem is the lack of ram would probably bottleneck folding performance (but it probably bottlenecks the ps3 also since both systems only have 512mb

)

Tried to redress the balance a bit in the 'Reactions' section, after a couple of poorly informed posts.
