The number of participants with Folding@Home for the PlayStation 3 is nearing the one million mark. So with that being said, the program is expecting to grow even further by dishing out new features that will satisfy many PS3 owners in various ways.
First at hand, if you are one of those gamers that constantly forget to turn your console off when you leave the house or fall asleep (thus resulting in an overheated console and increased electricity bill), then you have to look no further than the new automatic shutdown feature through Folding@Home.
This will allow your PS3 to shut down after long periods of not being used such as 2 or 3 hours. A second enhancement is the ability for music downloaded onto your PlayStation 3 hard drive to play in the background while running the Folding@Home program.
To get the latest version that includes these great additions, just simply click on the FAH icon in your PS3 dash to retrieve the content update.
