Since replacing an over-heating ATI(Sapphire Radeon 1950XT) Card with an NVidia(Winfast PX7200 GS) card my Vista Home Premium 64 Quad Core CPU set to run all 4 processors for SETI now only runs 2 i.e. 2 Tasks at a time instead of 4?
Help or/and ideas please . . .[/b]

What are the settings for "use at most N CPUs" and "Use at most X% of CPUs?"

"On multiprocessors, use at most 4 processors."
"Use at most 76% of CPUs?"
I also unchecked the ATI and Intel GPU boxes and now have three(3) processors I presume? running 3 tasks.
Thankyou for your interest.

That looks right for your settings on a 4 cpu machine.
