PS3Chat Folding@home Team
Anyone else have Folding@home? It's one of the options to join or create a team. Perhaps we should start a PS3 Chat team to unite our PS3s.  If you're interested, here's a rundown of what you need to join:
Update your PS3 firmware to 1.6 or above. The easiest way is to go to Settings -> System Update -> Update via Internet. You can also download the latest firmware to a storage device and then update through it, but you need to be online in order to get Folding@home.
Once you're updated, the Folding@home icon will be added to the Network portion of the XMB. Start it up and it'll download and install the program to your PS3.
When you have Folding@home up and running, press Triangle to open up OPTIONS -> Identity. From there, you can Change Donor Name from the default PS3 to something unique. From the Identity tab, you can also Join an Existing Team.
In order to join the PS3 Chat team, you'll need to input the team number, 57434. Now leave your PS3 on while it folds proteins in order to find the cure to cancer and other diseases.

Okay, I created the team. Just enter the number 57434 for the PS3chat team. It seems like their stats server is down at the moment (too many PS3s?) so I'm not sure how well it'll work.

When you're actually folding, press Triangle to open the OPTIONS menu. Go to Identity -> Join an Existing Team and enter the number to join the PS3 Chat team.

I entred the numerical digits earlier, but it didn't actually say that I had joined a group. Does it just mean that all our PS3's combine to tackle one disease?

When you press Select, it switches the view, showing you some status. It should have,
DONOR
Name _____
Team 57434
Completed __ Work Units
As long as you joined the team, it'll change from 0 to 57434 which means you've joined the PS3 Chat team. You can also check your stats over at OPTIONS -> Information -> My Statistics or My Team Statistics.
