Well if you don’t know what folding@home is, it’s a distributed computing effort (which means it accomplishes more by letting people around the world use their spare cpu cycles) it helps cancer research as well as other diseases. and why is the ps3 so important for this effort? well its about 30 times more powerful than the average pc. so if you have a ps3 download the 1.60 firmware update (which i believe upscales ps2 games) and then in the network menu there will be a folding@home icon, which will download a 51mb installation, and then you are folding! (forgot to mention i’ve got 3 ps3′s folding as much as i can (my friends arent into it so much so i keep turning folding on when they arent using the ps3!))
what are the specs on the PS3
