Yeah, thanks for being more pro-active on this one, Ben. I think that's what this forum needs, is someone to spray a little water on the flames before they get out of control like what happened this morning with Kwaad. It's a shame that went down the way it did, but hopefully it will serve as an example.
Anyway, on this topic, it's my understanding that the PS3 folding client is drastically different from other clients, and the amount of useful work being done cannot be directly compared between a PC, a PS3, or a GPU. Not that you can't measure GFLOPS or something like that, but it's harder to put it in context when the problems they're solving are completely different. And you can't compare points per day, because they award points differently for different client types. Therefore I think it would be difficult to make a meaningful comparison between the usefulness of a PS3 folding vs. a hypothetical 360 folding, GPU or no GPU.
You should read Stanford's PS3 FAQ before guessing what the 360 could do.
