Having replaced my home desktop computer with what would have been a super computer when I first started using "serious" computers, I've started contributing to a super computer that is hopefully helping to identify the causes of many disease. I'm referring to Folding@Home.
By using spare cycles on desktops, graphics card in desktops and even on PS3 games console this amazing project has built what is probably the largest compute resource available today. Currently 8.6 PFlops and counting
If you have a PC that gets left on without being used for long period of time - consider installing F@H - and consider adding to team Crunch. It is more socially responsible than contributing to peer-to-peer networking, and will advance medical knowledge....
