wcg stress question
would WCG put enough stress on my pc to make 720P videos play slowly?
i can play roughly 3 720p videos smoothly at the same time with 2 firefox windows having 5+- tabs each. |

It can slow things down somewhat. What I do is leave BOINC at 100% unless I'm playing a game or watching a video. Then I put it down to 60-70%, which fixes the problem.

Yep, when I'm gaming I set it down to 80%, 20% of my quad is still enough for games
