Questions
1. I see that BOINC is running 1 task per 1 core, I'd like it to use all cores per task, what should I do?
2. How jobs size at grcpool is calculated, can I change job size?
3. There is an option to collect money from BOINC-users and rent supercomputer instead of buying home-level rigs and paying bills for electricity (or even renting clouds personally). Would it be more cost&time effective?

Problem: my Radeon x1150 driver version is 8.282.2.1 but "No usable GPUs found"

Find a project that has multitasking multithreading applications, else it's quite normal for each CPU core to run one task.

2. How jobs size at grcpool is calculated, can I change job size?
I don't know what you're talking about. Best ask at Gridcoin's forums.

3. There is an option to collect money from BOINC-users and rent supercomputer instead of buying home-level rigs and paying bills for electricity (or even renting clouds personally). Would it be more cost&time effective?
Also, I don't know what you're talking about. Where is this option to collect money from BOINC-users? Who collects it? If you, isn't that a scam, when other BOINC-users pay you for running work via your account on external computers?

Your Xpress 1150 is a graphics card, not a general purpose graphics processing unit. In other words, all it can do is calculate the graphics and output those.

Touché. Multithread it is then.
