When I installed BOINC last week, I came across an article on how to regedit my machine so it would control the amount to time the processor had the model crunching. I set my machine to split the work 50/50. I have now added two more machines and I want to limit the processor to less than 100%. Does anyone know where this information is located. I have covered all bases but it is eluding me right now.

In the 'Add-ons' section, there is a program called ThreadMaster. This program controls one or more applications so that they do not use more than a certain amount of processor time. We have used it because some machines were shutting down or locking up (due to CPU overheating!) and now these machines have been running BOINC smoothly for a while.
