Setting Resource shares

hi

I have been using BOINC for a while, and have just joined WCG.

Is it possible to set the BOINC resource share to anything other than 100, so that I can control how much of the box's time is devoted to WCG projects?

Thanks

Re: Setting Resource shares

Hello River,
Yes, it is a 2-step process. The Resource Share of 100 is part of the Default profile. First go to 'My Grid' - 'Device Manager' - 'Device Profile' and modify one of the named profiles (such as Home) to have a different resource share, then Save the changed profile. Secondly, go to 'My Grid; - 'Device Manager' and assign the new profile to your computer. Then wait for BOINC to download the new profile. (Or force an update using Boinc Manager)

Re: Setting Resource shares

Or, you can just modify the default profile.

Re: Setting Resource shares

Thanks both of you. Ive found it with your help

I was expecting it to be separate from the BOINC cross-project settings ( because that is the way it is done on the BOINC websites), and had alread looked past it... duh
