...bumping runtimes further to 12hrs will quadruple your credits compared to that of the faulty default setting
Not wanting to mislead anyone, I wrote that wrong
Credits per Rosetta Beta v6.06 task will quadruple. Credits per hour of CPU runtime will be about the same.

Point being, Rosetta Beta v6.06 tasks set to a target time of:
- Not selected: runs for 3hrs and you get 3hrs worth of credit - even though Boinc initially says they'll run for 8hrs
- 8 hours: runs for 8hrs and you get 8hrs worth of credit
- 12 hours: runs for 12hrs and you get 12hrs worth of credit - even though Boinc initially says they'll run for 8hrs

This doesn't apply to Rosetta v4.20 tasks you may occasionally see, where:
- Not selected: runs for 8hrs and you get 8hrs worth of credit

8hrs is the ideal as you get the intended Rosetta default runtime and credit (instead of falling short every time), doesn't 'waste' our limited remaining queue of tasks and doesn't screw up Boinc's task scheduling.
12hrs (or 10hrs) is an option to get you more credits per task <if you're meeting deadlines comfortably> without messing up Boinc's scheduling too much and further extends how long our limited queue of tasks lasts for.

Hello.
Is it possible to cancel RAM limitations for rosetta beta 6.06?
The client on one of my PCs cannot receive WU by issuing the message "Rosetta beta needs 3337.86 MB RAM but only 2301.15 MB is available for use."
At the same time, on my main PC, I see that the RAM consumption of one wu is only about 100 MB.
