1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : My computer seems stressed by BOINC (Message 29938) Posted 10 Aug 2007 by old_user465526 Post: Thanks again. In one of the FAQs I read that it is not advisable to run the program on a laptop, so maybe I should consider uninstalling? I have been looking for the option that says only to use a certain percentage of free time, but I can\'t find it. Unless you mean the options that says only to run BOINC at certain times during the day?

4) Questions and Answers : Preferences : My computer seems stressed by BOINC (Message 29909) Posted 9 Aug 2007 by old_user465526 Post: Hello, I installed BOINC the other day and am still figuring out how this thing works. I use a MacBook that is about four months old, with Intelcore 2 duo processor, 1 GB memory and 80 GB hard drive. When I run BOINC the computer gets very hot, and the fan seems to be working to the maximum. I tried setting my preferences to On multiprocessors, use at most 1 processors Use at most 50 percent of CPU time Use at most 10 GB disk space Still my computer seems to be working very hard. Is there something I should change, or should I just not worry about it? Thanks Helena T Sweden
