I was wondering if Microsoft is working with Rosetta@home to develope the program for the xbox 360. I know I saw some articles back in 2007. What ever happened to this. I know that the new 60gb model of the 360 work just fine I have not had any problems. I would love to see this on the 360. I would love to see some results on folding with rosetta. I also fold with folding@home using my gpu nvidia 9600gt and fold with rosetta@home using my cpu time amd dual core. It would be great to see this go to the 360.

I'm fairly sure the 360's RROD put an end to that project. I doubt they'd do it now even with the updated Jasper line because they'd have to only allow some users (with the newer xboxes) and not others.

I assume they'd have used the GPU rather than the tri-core CPU so its a shame because it would have been interesting to see how the xenos stacked up against the PS3's 7x CellBEs... the xenos was the basis for the ATI/AMD R600 GPUs so no slouch of a GPU.

Isn't that the way it is with the video cards too? Newer models only and ones with tons of memory at that. My ATI 128 meg cards work fine for everything but CUDA crunching. No I am not a gamer so don't even go there, I KNOW it is not a gaming card.
You would think MS would find the chance to blow another game machine out of the water would entice them to at least try it. Advertising is key to selling tons of stuff, if the XBox could crunch faster, they could sell more and maybe parents would like it because their kids are contributing to Science, not just playing video games!!
