What does downloading and setting up "BOINC + Virtual Box" enable you to do what is the difference between downloading and running "BOINC" compared to "BOINC + Virtual Box"?

It allows you to run some projects that require virtualbox.
----------------------------------------LHC projects come to mind. WCG does not currently use Virtualbox. AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Oh Ok I see thanks, I was thinking if I turned on my AMD virtual mode in my BIOS i could run a virtual client as well then I would be running 16 threads at once instead of 8 same with my Xeon E3 1240 V2 it has hardware virtualization in BIOS too.

Or perhaps If I installed a Xen hypervisor on my Dell T110 ii Server which I just picked up for $134.00 CAD !! as opposed to $1600.00 on the Dell website I could run ubuntu OS instances with BOINC running on each. Would have to buy some more memory to run virtual server mode I guess 4 Gigs wouldn't be enough unless your Xen manager app had over utilization features but I think that costs extra $$ for that feature.
