I'd like to see, what kind of results I can get, when I'll leave the test server up and running during my christmas vacation.

I can only get 25% of CPU utilization for my computer. Client is the latest Boinc, 5.2.13, running on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64.

Server has 4 dualcore- Intel Pentium IV Xeon. (8 processors.) HT is disabled. Host ID is 113242.

Any suggestions?

What settings do you have in preferences for the following?

On multiprocessors, use at most [ how many ] processors?

Given you mention 25% CPU use, it sounds like that may be set to only 2, in which case that's all BOINC will use. If so, change it to 8, do a manual update of Rosetta in BOINC and see if the other 6 CPU's kick in.

Ahh, yes. There was such a setting :)

I added more CPUs. I was just a simpleton.

Thnx.

Glad I could help. I'd feel even better if I had a server like that but unless I win the Lotto, it's not gonna happen :-)
