Folding@Home - PS3 vs PC

The PS3 should produce some great results. I did a little bit of research into this for a presentation on grid computing. Sony claimed the PS3 could compute at 2 TFLOPS whereas Stanford reckons it's only 0.1 TFLOPS! I found that quite amusing.

Still, the way the PS3 works is pretty ideal of processing F@H units. They were getting about 25X processing speed out of an X1900 GPU. I'm assuming this is to do with massive floating point capabilities of chips geared towards 3D?
 
My PS3 at the moment is getting 0.0554 S/Frame and 312.11 NS/Day

I dunno what that will translate to in PPD though.
