BOINC runs on both cores, but it only ever uses 50% of my CPU. Is there a way to make it maximize both cores? Or is there a way to make it run 2 tasks at once? And yes, I have set it to use 2 CPUs in the general preferences. ID: 5126 ·

I take it you are checking this through Windows Task Manager? You see two instances of your project's application running at 50%? That's because 50+50=100%. ID: 5127 ·
