I want one of my boxes to crunch only CUDA WUs.
This box is attached to GPUGRID, Seti and SetiBeta.

GPUGRID is OK. It has only CUDA WU.
Seti and SetiBeta: I marked (in primary, home and work preferencies) :
- Seti@Home Enhanced : yes
- Astropulse : no
- Astropulse V5 : no
- No work from other application
- use GPU if available : yes
- Use CPU : no

But I continue to recieve Seti not CUDA WUs.
Is it correct ?? Is it possible to recieve only CUDA WUs.
Is this a Boinc problem, or a Seti problem ??
Or is ...... my problem ???
This box is AMD 5200+ with WIn XP 64b
BM 64b 6.3.38
I searched in the forum, but I haven't seen anything dealing this situation

What applications do you use?

If you use the standard project-supplied applications, then the website prefences you've listed should work.

If you use third party or optimised applications (as many at SETI do), then I think the web preferences get overtaken by the app_info.xml specified apps. If you don't want to use the CPU, don't soecify a CPU application in app_info.xml

May be this is a Boinc problem.
In the same box there is alo Aqua, and also this project has the same behaviour:
I setted only GPU work (the same way as Seti@home) but I have this message (request for a CPU work)

22/07/2009 15:59:36 AQUA@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
22/07/2009 15:59:36 AQUA@home Requesting new tasks for CPU
22/07/2009 15:59:41 AQUA@home Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
22/07/2009 15:59:41 AQUA@home Message from server: (Project has no jobs available)

The prefs screen is setted 15% (in a previous attempt to reduce the CPU usage). Now I setted also <cpu_usage_limit>0.000000</cpu_usage_limit>.

I'll wait till the actual Seti CPU WUs will finish
