Hi, I have this really nice computer and I want to let my computer help give back to society. I have a 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16 GB DDR3, & ATI RADEON HD 5870 1GB. HOW CAN I MAKE THIS COMPUTER GIVE THE MOST TO BOINC? What settings do I need to tweak basically to make this program run these applications run as fast as possible?

My second question is can this program even utilize the full capacity of my computer? 16 gigs of Ram, and a quad core processor? I was reading something about GPU with my graphics card, but that it only kicks in once the computer is idle... I'm guessing I could just leave that setting alone?

Thanks for the help!

Oh, it's a new mac pro btw.
