21) Questions and Answers : Preferences : How to allocate cpu time when in screensaver mode and when not? (Message 24000) Posted 17 Aug 2006 by old_user195563 Post: Thank\'s for the advice.. And to show my gratitude and respect I did the following; The screensaver is turned off, downclocked a bit to 3.53ghz, I\'ve allocated 80percent cpu and 80 ram, also yessed the \'leave app in mem\' option and gave the whole shasam 6gigs to use with a min of 1 to leave free (?why?).. Don\'t know if that\'s enough, a little or much but as boinc only uses 1.19Gb untill now I guessed that amount would be sufficiant for now.. Also changed the Threadmaster param to 40 for each of both cp app\'s and rebooted.. So as I\'m a complete noob I guess I simply didn\'t understand earlier that the option \'Do work while the computer is in use\' does in fact also allocate cpu-time when it is idle and not in use.. Please forgive my ignorance but what do you mean with \'make backups of the boinc-folder\' exactly? Copy the entire boinc-file I have in my program files folder in another location, maybe on another drive? For what use? Boinc loads at start-up and I only exit it when I shutdown my pc or it crashes so the prog is in my ram and system restore anyway.. If the system disk would get scrambled or breakdown, well then having lost the boinc app would be the least of my worries anyway. Nevertheless for the moment boinc indicates \'activities suspended\' and doesn\'t do anything anymore.. Did I forget something or do something wrong maybe? Don\'t tell me that\'s because I didn\'t back-up, I feel a big enough idiot already.. Mucho gracias

(Message 23996) Posted 17 Aug 2006 by old_user195563 Post: I just joined yesterday and am still trying to configure.. My pc is a little old lady with Asus P5ad2-del, 925x, intel P4 540 @ 3.64Ghz oc\'d, 2x1024ram, Nvid6600GT, 2x WDraptor 36Gig, etc.. stable and efficient enough to share a little bit cpu-time,ram&mem with the family, witch I\'m trying to do. I now have boinc running at 90perc Cpu and 90perc Ram when my pc turns to screensaver-mode after 3 min, altough this is working fine I also would like to maximize boinc\'s runtime by allocating, lets say, perhaps 40perc cpu-time when not idle but in use.. However it seems to me that boinc pref\'s only give the choice between one or the other.. Is there something I\'ve overlooked or does someone know how to resolve this? Greetz & thx 4 answering
