While SETI is down I want to run Einstein and Rosetta together. I've given them each 50% of the computers resources but I can only run one or the other. How can I run both at the same time???

[edit] OK apparently you cant on a single core/single threaded CPU. It will switch between the projects over time giving an effective 50% to each.

You don't have to, BOINC will do this automatically for you. Just let BOINC do it's magic in the background :-)

Dual Core is the way to go if you want to do this. Imagine four projects with a quad core. :)
