You don't really join a team. When you're folding you'll have the option to enter a team number and that's the team that will be credited for your Work Unit. Most of my work went to team 60 which is "Team Canada" I started Team Kikizo, but no one joined and I lost interest. I only submitted 2 work units. I may pick it up again with my GTX 290. The PS3 is fast, but a high end GPU is much faster. Using a CPU is slow and shitty.
PS3 has a nice interface, everything is easy and pretty, you can actually see a map of the world and spots are lite up where there are large clusters of folders.
And half the time the CPU gets errors mid WU and has to restart. It typically takes days to finish a WU with the CPU. Having it fuck up is a real piss off. Using a GPU or PS3 is strongly reccomended.
