It's simple, install the software and give a few CPU cycles to the cause. Your machine will download a unit of work and get busy on it. When done the results get pushed back up to the main server.

Now I've created a Guitars Canada team:

Team Id: 58251

Just enter it in the software and lets see how much we can do as a team.

That's how I heard as well. I have my PS3 and my more powerful laptop running it.
A gridframe as opposed to a mainframe....interesting concept.

The software has been optimized for the Cell processor and the ATI GPU so you can see in a matter of a few days the PS3 is kicking some major butt in Folding.

Too bad it isn't worth crap for playing video games.
Somebody else must have some spare CPU cycles for a good cause...
I bet I have more cycles than the lot of you combined ;) I've been doing this for about....4 years or so, and I run 5-6 computers at all times at home :)
