Got a PS3!

[gamer007]

Hey guys, got a PS3 for Christmas. Didn't really expect that.

I'm thinking of trying out Folding@home on it. I can't use PS3Grid since they want the PS3 hardwired to the network (my dad doesn't want to route the ethernet cable all around the whole of upstairs) so I can't help boost my BOINC credits.

Anyone have experiences w/ F@H on the PS3?

Congrats Gamer!!! I'm jealous!!!

Go to the "folding" part of the menu (all the way to the right, in the menu system..i think). Crank it up. Add your user name, and team id (13129).

You still need the internet connection. but the wu's are set to run only ~8 hours.

There may be a couple of updates to load.

Have Fun! (Shhh...it plays games too...don't tell anyone...)

EDIT: I have Oblivion, Drake's, and Warhawk...

I think I read that some people have loaded a Folding wu and carried the darn thing into work with them to plug it in (to power) and run...

Yup I ran it for a good while also. 475 wu's and 5th place on our team. It looks pretty snazzy to.

You can play games on a PS3?




...Just kidding, my 360 wants to join in some distributed crunching, too.

speaking of games for the ps3... I got blazing angles 2, guitar hero 3, and Lair. The GTH3 is a blast. fun fun fun...

I need to get me a PS3 if nothing else than to just mess with it for now, I have a Coupon that I can get 25% off on 1 if I use it before the 31'st ...

Time is running short PoorBoy, I don't do much gaming if at all, so I have never looked at this device as anything but a waste of time in the past. Now with these new developments in the DCing World, you never know, someday I might indulge!

I don't Game anymore either, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in your Hands and Gaming don't get along to well ...

I just want one for the projects to see 1'st hand how they do, I'll probably have to get Bender or Mitch to help me out at first ...
