I got my new PS3 folding by taking it out of the box, using its settings and network settings menus to get it connected using it’s built in WiFi, to my in home wireless network which taps into my cable modem. Once the PS3 could see the Internet, I used the PS3’s menu to “Update System” and updated its operating system over the Internet to the current level. (level 1.6 I think) Once the OS is updated, Folding at Home appears as one of the PS3’s Network Menu options and can be started and configured from there. There are other ways to connect a PS3 to the Internet, but this was quick and easy.

If you have a USB keyboard you can plug into your PS3, some of this setup is made even easier...

My PS3 seems to complete a 300 or 320 point work unit every 6 and a half hours or so... Using it, plus my other two PCs and now getting even more points from my fathers, my son’s , and my brother's PCs, I’ve gone from position 66 in our Free Republic team, up to position 62 in just the last week. wysiwyg and IoCaster were catching up to me, but now they're no longer on my overtake threat radar... *waves* ;-)

Totally Cool. It will be a while before you pass me though. I’m something like #17 or so. :-)

Ahh, so that's how you left me in your dust! Looks like I need to start shopping eBay for a bargain PS3 now.
