It seems some people have problems getting BOINC to work with multiple CPUs/cores, so why's mine already set at 16? I certainly didn't set it that way!

It won't use more cores than you actually have on any given PC. ID: 43070 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The default setting was increased due to increasing core counts. It won't use more cores than you actually have on any given PC. Also, is that 16 limit per computer, or per user ID?
