Folding (if you are unaware of it) is the simulation of protein folding using Stanford university’s distributed computing net work… along with single and multiple core clients for PC, MAC, Lunix and PS3 is also has high performance GPU clients the Nvidia being the best of those.

So put 16 quick GPU’s into a single box and you have a MONSTER of a machine that can only have been designed to FOLD like no other machine has folded before…..
