I don't know if I have a CUDA/CAL-capable GPU but Preferences > processor usage > Use GPU while computer is in use is unchecked.

I'm not sure if Boinc was to blame but I'm so tired of those moments when my computer seem unresponsive and FF memory usage grows up like crazy so I unchecked Preferences > processor usage > While computer is in use. I now realize that I spend a lot of time use my computer and most of that time I use little CPU so feel guilty that all that "waste" isn't used to help the scientific community thus humanity. I looked in the Preferences panel (current BOINC version 6.6.28) for a way to have a different CPU limit for use & idle but can't seem to do so ; the only thing along those lines is memory usage limit for use & idle... :| Thanks for your help
