On the net i set my seti@home preferences to "on copmuters with more than 1

Can i override that for one particular machine? I have a HT P4 that runs at
74C if i let both threads crunch. I want to reduce that 1 machine to using
1 Thread and let my other two machines run as normal (using both threads).

You can set up a separate set of preferences, including the single CPU 
usage, for another "venue", one of "home", "work", and "school"--you 
don't have to take the names literally--and then assign your P4 to that 
venue using the popup at the bottom of its Host page. I believe the 
first batch of BOINC log messages from when it's launched will indicate 
what venue the systems are assumed to belong to by default (home?), so 
you can be sure to choose an unused one. Both the BOINC general 
preferences (like the CPU usage) and project-specific settings (like 
resource share) can be different for each venue. A change of venue will 
take effect next time BOINC contacts the servers, or on a manual Update.
