OS (MS Windows Serwer 2003 R2 Standard x64) in computer shows 8 threades/processors. I set in "General preferences": "On multiprocessors, use at most 4 processors", but only 2 are used (25 %). Why ? regards Greg ID: 48099 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

(School, Work, Home...) Check the first dozen messages when BOINC starts and see what venue it is using. You can either change the host on the project website to live at a different venue, or you can change the preferences for that venue in your General Preferences.

If you stick with the project's settings, and avoid using that local override, it is easier to add computers later that will run the same setup as your existing machines.
