It Throttles, It Allows to automatically assign CPU core Affinity on multi-core computers and allows to define Priority for both forefront and when hidden or minimized, Automatically as well AND it even has a column showing the Real % for the core, not e.g. 49% on a duo, but 98%.... that everyone will understand out of the box.
----------------------------------------The website is in French, but once you get past the "Téléchargez la dernière version" (Download last version), you can unzip it, start it and quickly switch to Inglese bottom left in the options screen. http://www.bill2-software.com/processmanager/ Sadly, only for Windoz atm where it now trundles along on my Vista quad, for kicks. enjoy. (and joy I have for just being offered to download, automatically of course, the Italian Vista SP1.... from 65 to 534mb.... should I?)

Bill2 Process Manager has done an excellent job so far, though the beta is not completely perfect yet, given that sometimes 2 different BOINC science processes run on 1 core and leaving 1 in the cold on a duo or quad, which is not bad as it is a smooth way to run at e.g. 75% or 50% effectively, cooling things down, but not efficient. Also the throttling really appeared to just be a priority control, which is nice as e.g. BOINC.exe is always automatically set to high prio and thus always runs with highest attention when it does the periodic benchmark.
----------------------------------------Still looking for a true smooth throttler for BOINC back to the search boards and twisting words around came upon "Process Lasso". It does what Process Manager can and adds the throttle features of Threadmaster in to provide a all in one AND this one works on Vista too. A discussion on the MS mvps boards Also if one process tries to get too much resources, his priority will be lowered - in fact same functionality as ThreadMaster on Citrix\Terminal Services (if you dont know it, download it immediately - it is for free and can same you lot of pain by preventing one user from crashing whole server). http://msmvps.com/blogs/martinzugec/archive/2...y-for-some-processes.aspx A place to get it and try it http://www.bitsum.com/prolasso.php A screenshot of the throttle control:  For daredevils.... let us know your findings.... and no registry settings required!!!!!!! (work on For Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, and 2008 x32 and x64.!) cheers
