How do I go about accessing the app_info.xml?I'm running win7 64bit w/a 6870+a 4870.I would like to use the 4870 on MW and the 6870 on seti or collatz.Is it possible?Thanks,Kurt

The app_info file is not something that is included in Boinc, it is a handmade file, or better yet a copy of someone elses, that is modified to fit your parameters. And yes it is possible but it will not be straightforward! In the app_info file you will just exclude 1 gpu, you will end up needing two of them as you will need to exclude 1 gpu in each. You will also need to have two TOTALLY SEPARATE installations of Boinc in TOTALLY DIFFERENT locations! Then one app_info file goes into each location letting a gpu crunch for it. It would be MUCH easier if you just used a second pc and put one gpu in each.

You can try to disable gpu for specified project.
This should be done in cc_config.xml

...
<exclude_gpu>

Don't use the given GPU for the given project. If <device_num> is not specified, exclude all GPUs of the given type. <type> is required if your computer has more than one type of GPU; otherwise it can be omitted. <app> specifies the short name of an application (i.e. the <name> element within the <app> element in client_state.xml). If specified, only tasks for that app are excluded. You may include multiple <exclude_gpu> elements. List-add.pngNew in 6.13

<exclude_gpu>
<url>project_URL</url>
[<device_num>N</device_num>]
[<type>nvidia|ati</type>]
[<app>appname</app>]
</exclude_gpu>

SORRY I always seem to get the cc_config and app_info files confused as to which is which and can do what!

In the app_info file you will just exclude 1 gpu, you will end up needing two of them as you will need to exclude 1 gpu in each. You will also need to have two TOTALLY SEPARATE installations of Boinc in TOTALLY DIFFERENT locations! Then one app_info file goes into each location letting a gpu crunch for it. It would be MUCH easier if you just used a second pc and put one gpu in each.

I don't think that this is true. app_info.xml is per project and they should be able to coexist.

I don't know, but I SHOULD have been saying cc_config.xml not app_info.xml I get confused on which does what and then confuse myself even worse! The point was to get two different installations of Boinc, then each can run its own project. What I think you are saying is it might work with a single installation if each Project had a gpu exclusion line in it, correct.

My CC_CONFIG
I run milkyway, collatz, albert, and poem.
Poem excludes gpus 0 & 2, and gets to use the rest (1 & 3), milkyway, collatz, and albert exclude gpu's 1 & 3, and share the rest (0 & 2).
