I just signed up..

So this won't interfere with my gaming?

No, it shouldn't. You can set it in preferences to suspend work when the computer is in use or when it hits a certain threshold of processor power. The BOINC client has been refined quite a bit and they haven't jumped from one type of client to the other like the folding bunch is always doing. So they have gotten the BOINC client to be quite mature and well behaved, I find.

Is this the area?
Does the program step aside if these boxes are checked? The cpu and gpu.

You can uncheck "When computer is in use" if you don't want the CPU to Crunch while you are using it, or you can leave it checked and set the CPU % to leave a core to compute with while the rest are crunching. I've personally never changed that parameter, but I believe if you have for example a dual core CPU, you would set the CPU % to 50 and it will leave you with one core to compute with at all times.
I'm not really sure why the "while GPU in use" parameter is even there to be honest. Rosetta does not have a GPU client, so it's not really applicable. You can leave that one checked or unchecked, it doesn't really matter. And unless you are running on a laptop, the "while on batteries" parameter is not applicable so you can just uncheck that one too.

But bottom line is that the BOINC client will not crunch Rosetta if and when you don't want it to. You just have to set your parameters accordingly.

Welcome to the team!

If your doing Hardcore Gaming...right click the client and pause/sleep work. Or for long stints after that exit it. Start it up when you are done. The deadlines are not severe. Stopping it for a few hours isn't going to effect you much.

i found that unchecking the "while computer is in use" would keep my computer as an "in use" state even though i wasn't at the computer. My screen saver didn't go on and it was sitting at my desktop until power saving for the monitor kicked in ~20mins later. Very odd, but it could have been a fluke somewhere else too I suppose.

Made my introduction in the the main forum, but I'll pop in here as well. Been crunching for about 28 hours now and I'm already just about to jump over 4000 points of credit. This AMD hex is a hoss!
