Welcome to ASC's Folding@Home Team Thread.
So what the hell is folding? - Bsically it's dedicating your PC or PS3 processor to a mathmatical problem while you aren't using it, which for most of us is 90% of the time.
Folding helps our alien task masters to rul.....umm Folding helps to solve protien puzzle that can (and have) led to breakthroughs in medical research.
What do I have to do? - If you have a PS3, it's pretty simple. Every time you are done gaming/watching TV, you start the Folding@Home application and let it run. You can turn off your TV and it will do fine in the background.
If you ahve a PC you want to run it on. You download the appropriate client, install it, then enter your team name and you name. Instructions to follow.
How do I get started?
There are two clients, PC (multiple flavours) and a built in client on the PS3. I will be posting up details on how to set all this up along screen captures etc.
