I am thinking of changing my cpu from a 2GHzP4 to a 3.2GHzP4 due to the cheap intel pricing right now. So what implications will this have for boinc? Will boinc pick up from where it left off? Will I have to set my preferences to 0 days and let the numbers of wu\'s run down to nominal numbers prior to swapping? (I hate dumping wu\'s) Does cpdn care? As the host is based on cpu type and os will the change mess things right up?

it shouldn't matter, boinc will run benchmarks periodically pick up the cpu change.
