On the net i set my seti@home preferences to "on copmuters with more than 
1
cpu use at most 2 cpu's"
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).
Thanks

Hi,

You don't have to do anything on the Boinc website (network) side.

Simply set the affinity for Boinc in that particular machine to only use one 
processor.

Win: Task Manager -> Processes -> (Right Click) Set Affinity

I believe you will find this is only a temporary setting. It should
only last as long as the current unit is processing and then when the
next unit starts it should use all the cpus available again.
The home, work, school suggeestion is a long lasting solution.
