    If they're still using the same app that "runs" on a PS3, anyone with a linux PPC64 can compile BOINC with ps3-linux as an alternate. The tasks run but fail quickly and then you still get credit. My IBM RS/6000 would get about 33k a day.

    So, anyone with one of the older macs can run linux and get a lot of credit.
