If I have a project running, it only uses 50% cpu power (1 core) If I attach another different project it uses that same core also. I want to be able to use both cores 100% with projects on boinc. How can I do this? Many thanks. ID: 327895 ·

Once you have saved your preferences online, open BOINC Manager, click on the Projects tab, then click on any project in the list, then click on the Update button to force BOINC to download the new preferences.
