It runs at the speed it runs. There is no tweaking the speed of the PS3 client.

You can enable Expert Mode. The increase isn't that great, but it does help a little, apparently.

Options:

Folding@home Normal Mode - all channels available

Disable Folding@home - no FAH, all other channels available

Folding@home Expert Mode - no other channels available


I use Expert so those channels I never use don't steal any precious cycles from fah... :wink:

Sorry, I didn't see you had changed the topic.

It's under General Settings somewhere, possibly under Information; I haven't run the PS3 client in a while so I don't remember exactly where. Just keep poking through the settings and you should find it. I did see that backbone may not be available for all projects.
