	I keep finding my computer working on regular wus. Is there a way to make it do CUDA only? I'm not sure what condition causes it to get regular units, but that condition does recover. At this point it may be a day or two before I start working CUDA units again. CUDA units are worked in 15-60 minutes. non-CUDA units are worked in 4-24 hours. So I can waste time where I could have completed 4 to 96 CUDA units. ____________

	Under your account, go to your SETI@Home preferences and unselect "Use Central Processing Unit (CPU)" and make sure "Use Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) if available" is selected. This won't change anything that's already on your computer, but once your local BOINC's preferences have been updated, all future work requests should be for GPU only. ____________

	...all future work requests should be for GPU only. Unless you have an app_info.xml that tells otherwise. GruÃŸ, Gundolf ____________ Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours

	i might have found a forum bug. where i choose the gpu only. next time i check. go to edit it shows all check Why would that be a forum bug? This preferences "bug" might be connected to the replica database not being up to date. Try again (and again:-) GruÃŸ, Gundolf ____________ Computer sind nicht alles im Leben.
