Folding@Home, to be exact. I fold non-stop, not cause I have to, but its for a good cause. Whoever have me on their PSN, see that im folding about 90% of the time. 10% playing CoD4 Very Happy .

lol, 150K calculations of a cell "folding" AKA structure. Easy way to say it, is that it helps predict how cancer and other diseases develops and can lead to a cure (possibly).

Yeh, pretty much. There are a few projects like that now, BOINC, Einstein@Home,Folding@home, PlanetQuest, Rosetta@home, Seti and Systemic. The PS3 have the application on the current firmware, and it is optional to install. Basic layout is 1 WU "Work Unit" takes about 8-9 hours to complete, then you get another WU.

So far, I have about... 1164 WU, lol

It's probably good the 360 doesn't have this. Leave your console running non-stop and it'll melt into slag.
