folding on a 360?

[otispunkmeyer]

reckon it could happen?

you can download the SDK cant you? and you got a unified GPU nestled in there too, surely its even more flexible than a R580.

the 360's cpus probably wont be up to much like, since they are not like AMD's or Intels chips. you got a Hdd there to run the program from and internet connectivity. would make a nice little cruncher

I'm pretty sure that's possible.

It was already done so on the old xbox. I remember having read something about building your own cheap SETI cluster with like 8 or 16 xboxes back in the days.

So I don't see anything against that as far as the x360 is concerned, unless M$ implemented some evil chip or what not that prohibts none-signed code to execute or some other protections, suposedly to keep hackers and pirtated software from messing with the x360.

you can already get round the pirated games thing with a quick swap of the DVD drive for a smasung? one

(at least thats what i was told, lets you play copies and imports)
