I have installed the latest version of Boinc (Boinc Manager 5.8.17). Boinc only uses 100% CPU time, allthough my Macbook Pro has a CoreDuo processor and therefor has 200% CPU time available....

Cheers Well not really. You can only use 100% of a CPU, but as you have two of them you should see two work units being crunched at the same time. Thus two processes in your task manager. The only thing you might want to check is that in your preferences you allowed rosetta to use both CPUs and not just one.

Install MenuMeters, and turn on CPU. You should see both CPUs maxed out. http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/ Reno, NV Team: SETI.USA ID: 39538 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I believe Linux would show this as 200%, and I have no idea about OSX etc although I would assume these are in line with Linux... P.S.
