1) Message boards : Questions and problems : How do I only use 3 cores on a quad core? (Message 37260) Posted 23 Mar 2011 by kingfurball Post: Hi Folks, Been running Boinc for years now, been using Seti since classic was standard so that has been well over a decade. Currently running Climate prediction, Seti, Milkyway, GPUGrid, and Einstein. I have had a lot of times when I have to turn off BOINC because I just need more of my computer for me. This is just a bit of a pain and what is worse is that I will forget to turn it back on. I think 99% of the problems could be solved if I could tell BIONC to only use 3 out of 4 cores or 1 out of 2 cores on my dual core, when I am using the computer - it can have it all when idle. I just can't find the settings. I found one that made everything seesaw in the task manager. I have been searching for help on this for quite a while, so any help is appreciated. Thank-you so much King Furball Athlon x2 5000 2.0 Overclocked to Athlon Phenom X4 with 6mb l3 cache 2.7 GHZ with Geforce GTX 465
