Extremely strange/annoying find: although I have this piece of code in my app_config
----------------------------------------<app_config> <app> <name>cep2</name> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> </app> <app> <app> <name>faah</name> <max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent> </app> <app> </app_config> if the 3rd CEP2 WU is next in line, it will start crunching. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Edit: I'm using 7.0.47 (x64) like SekeRob recommended on a Phenom II B50 x4, for what it's worth. Knowledge is limited.

The only thing I can see is that there are too many <app> tags. The ones marked in red below should be removed.
----------------------------------------<app_config> Question: when you start BOINC, does the event log show a message that says something like "World Community Grid date/time Found app_config.xml"? If not, that may be a sign that BOINC doesn't know how to interpret your app_config. Try removing those tags and see what happens. Hope that helps, CaptainJack (Edit 1, minor change in wording) [Edit 1 times, last edit by captainjack at Apr 11, 2013 8:46:13 PM] |

OK, just changed it, but the thing is that overnight I only seem to have received FAAH WUs and now I only have 2 CEP2s and they are, of course, both running... Weird, huh? I have set my CEP2 limit to 6 for this machine.
----------------------------------------Regarding the app_config file, I wanted to mention that, but I forgot: yes, it does find it and no errors are shown in the log either. Right now I'm even more concerned that I am not getting enough CEP2 WUs to have a sufficient buffer. Anyway, thanks for the tip about the extra <app> tag. I had missed that. Cheers!

Looks like that was it. Happily crunching 2 FAAHs and 2 CEP2s only. Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever see 6 CEP2s on this machine as I am also using RAMDisk which means I have just 4GB of storage available (maybe I will buy a license one day and bump it up to 8GB). But that's cool too, cause I can still get about 4 CEP2 WUs, so 2 buffered, which is fine by me.
