Largest computing network for a games console

The largest computing network is the Folding@Home project. In March 2007 Stanford University and Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 was to join the Folding@Home project. This allows users to contribute the processing power of their machines to the scientific study of protein folding and associated diseases like Alzheimers. As of October 2007 more than 289,000 PlayStation 3 users have signed up, making this the largest and most powerful distributed computing project for a games console.
