Not a gamer so never took much interest in GPU'S or gaming machines but I am curious.

How do the latest graphics cards and the PS3 compare from the Folding viewpoint?
I assume mid-range and upwards GPU's would outproduce the PS3???

Not Folded since it fried my 1900xt :confused:

Would appreciate gpu models/PS3 comparisons. :)

Thanks [ION]

Wow, the PS3 used to be IT...........now it seems so lame compared to latest gen GPU's.
Was considering getting a PS3 for the folks to use but methinks a rig upgrade more likely :D
