    Default Folding@home for PS3

    I installed this on my PS3 to check it out, but I decided that I don't want to waste electricity and wear out my PS3. Does this run in the background automatically, or only when I specifically start the program? I hope it doesn't run when my system is powered off in standby mode.

    Nothing can run when any computer (including game consoles), are in standby mode. CPU is essentially sleeping, but not actually off.

    It only runs when you have Life with Playstation / Folding @ Home on.

    Too bad. The DP F@H team could definitely use more people.

    And second off, F@H uses less power than watching a DVD or playing a game. And it won't 'mess up' your PS3.
