Have 2 Computers and both are connected with 1 account.
Now 1 Computer is not used so he could do GPU-Workunits too, the others graphic Card is used, so no GPU-WU here.
Is it possible at all, to run 2 Computers with differents Settings when using 1 account ?
Cause the account Settings decide if GPU or not in the end, if im right.

There are 4 possible sets of "location preferences".

Go to your account page and under Preferences heading you will see:

"Preferences for this project", click the link. This will take you to the preferences page.

Here you will see the "default" preference, plus "Home", "School" and "Work".

Obviously the "default" location is used if you have not made any changes before

You can set each of these differently as you will see.

To change preferences use the "edit preferences" link at the bottom of each preference field.

Once your chosen preference is set you need to go the the computer "details" for the machine you wish to change and right at the bottom of the detail page you will see a "location" box with the 4 selectable choices.

Select the one one you are using and click update.

You should receive a message that the computer will be updated next time it connects.

So just to repeat in my words to make sure all is ok: i defined "home" Location as the set using GPU.
Then i switched the pc i want have to use GPU to "home", while leaving the pc, that may not use GPU at default, right ?
