The only reason there are 4 machines rather then 3 is that the 3 were starting to need help. I doubt any BOINC projects actually use their project servers to run their applications. It's just not a good idea if you want stable project servers for the crunchers of the project. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 64536 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
