Foster City (CA) - Almost 40,000 PS3 owners have connected to Stanford University's Folding@Home project, boosted by the launch of the console in Europe and other areas of the globe.
Alongside the Euro launch on March 23, the latest PS3 update was released last Thursday, allowing users to remotely share the Cell processor's power with the ambitious medical research project. Within the first day, about 15,000 users had signed up, and by the end of the weekend that number mushroomed to over 30,000.
Folding@Home is a global initiative headed by Stanford's medical researchers to find out more information about diseases like Parkinsn's, Alzheimer's, and cancer. PS3 users can access Folding@Home from the console's menu, which lets researchers tap into the processing power when the console is idle.

How can I add my PS3 to my BOINC.BAM! Account? I see only a Textbox where I can enter a "Teamnumber".

Are you talking about Folding?
Folding isn't runing under BOINC but has it's own client and is definitely not managable via BAM!

If you are talking about PS3grid, you have to run Linux on your PS3 and the interface is probably the same as for my C2Q-ubuntu. It's a project that's managable via BAM and runs under BOINC.
