1) Message boards : News : New BOINC installer includes VirtualBox (Message 51498) Posted 24 Nov 2013 by Heki Post: Starting with version 7.2.28, the recommended BOINC installer for Windows also installs VirtualBox, open-source virtualization software. This allows volunteered computer to run VM applications, benefitting both scientists and volunteers. I'm sorry David but how it's possible to have benefit from this? Any VM require a certain ammount of CPU time and RAM to work and this will influence the overall CPU usage of BOINC client, becaus he can take only the maximum CPU percentage that we assing to the VM. So it is possible that the host system have more CPU to use for BOINC operation, but it's limited by the VM.
