555 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 So its like a good botnet to help develop medical stuff faster (or whatever the distributed computing is helping out with)? and you can set how much processing power you want to donate from your pc?

ILikeBacon Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yes pretty much, and you can set a percentage processor use for it to adhere to, but if you keep it at 100% it is designed to drop it's resource usage when you use the PC. (I can even play Call of Duty and CS:S with it running in the backgorund, because it adjusts depending on what you are doing.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
