I have a friend who bought 8 Nvidia 9800GX2's at $400 a piece just to run folding@home lol. No gaming. What a moron...

not really. he is helping a great cause. Those 9800GX2 are definitely pushing tons of WUs. I'd love to have 4xGTX480s to do that or 4xGTX490s.

You mean pushing up the stock of his local electric company? I kid, but I think the usefullness of Folding/Seti is more is utilizing offpeak (wasted cycles) as opposed to building something for this specific purpose.
