Boinc have a got a preferences override file you can use. Have a look at this thread http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=5008 _________________________________ ID: 25259 · Reply Quote

Is there anyway to make all CPU\'s crunch a single WU? How do I select which drive to store animation data? thanks ID: 25282 · Reply Quote

No. One cpu / one model. The data needs to be on the same drive as BOINC / projects / etc. ID: 25283 · Reply Quote

So I wouldn\'t recommend running that option! I'm a volunteer and my views are my own. News and Announcements and FAQ ID: 25287 · Reply Quote
