After some help

I've just rolled the boinc client out accross one of my UK offices as a test before probably rolling out accross all of our PC's. Shot up into the top 5 daily producers which is cool.

Problem I have is our standard desktops untill recently have 256mb of ram but HT processors, so boinc goes great two procs I'll run 2 wu's at a time, problem is at around 100meb of ram required for each wu it causes a lot of paging which in tern is giving a noticable drop in performance on my clients. This intern give me a noticable increase in hassle when users ring up and whinge. Tried getting them to turn it off an on again... but... :P

What I'd like to be able to do is set rules some how, ie if the client has 256mb ram then only run one wu at a time but if the client has 512+ then go ahead and run two at a time coz it causes no problems. I know I could set the processor usage in the profile but that means me running a report off of the machines with boinc and 256 meg of ram then moving them onto a different profile. I know this doesn't seem like a lot of work but I'm running it on about 80 machines at the moment and will probably roll it out accross our uk offices soon meaning it will be 300+ machines and I'd rather have a more automated way of doing it. And I'm also going to go about upgrading the 256meg machines to 512mb over the next month or so and I'd have to then move them back to the other profile!

Hope that makes sense!
