Thanks to buying cheap junk in the past I now have a shiny new I-5 3300 Quad Gateway computer. Got it free through a class action lawsuit against EMachines. I also bought an EVGA GTX-650 GPU to go with it. Stupid computer came with Windows 8 installed. After much cussing and fussing and googling I have finally figured out how to get everything to play nicely.

Now for the problems and questions. I have got it optimized with the newest installer. Everything is running okay with 4 on my CPUs and one on my GPU. Right now I'm working on CUDA 42 work. I think I got those when I picked the wrong choice the first time I tried the opti installer. I also have a herd of CUDA 50s waiting to run.All are V7 7.00. I did get one AP but it got screwed up in download. I'm sure this GPU can handle at least two at a time but I need help on how I should set my ap-info. The ap-info is the one the installer gave me. I printed it out, all 13 pages of it and am completely confused as to what to change. I want it to run at least 2 APs and two or more MBs. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you let it run for a week to see if any bugs pop up.


Patience is a requisite around here.

Instead of screwing around with the app_info.xml file
make an app_config.xml file. Much shorter and easier to edit.
Lots of info when you do a forum search for it.

Exit BOINC.

Open app_info in Notepad, use Edit->Find to find instances of word count in the text. Every time you find <count>1</count>, change 1 to 0.5

When value is 0.5 then you are going to do two tasks on the gpu.

Thank you Spitfire, that's just what I did. I now have two V7s running on my cuda. I'll let it go for awhile to see how it does. I just wasn't sure if I needed to change anything else. If this goes okay for awhile then I will probably change it to .33. We'll see.

I tried to add an app_config but couldn't get it going. I'll play around with that some other time.
