And why would I be so silly as to do that?

I mean I am running MW and WCG on one machine, and on the others WCG and GPU Grid ... and when I get WCG badges up to snuff I will go back to my normal mode with almost all projects attached and eligible to run on all of my machines.

A word from the experienced, always run a backup project (or 2) for when your primary project runs out of work, is offline for database backups or is offline for any other reason - but only if you want to maximise your overall RAC.

I'll do that once in awhile (run 1 Project only) but only if I can get at least 12 hr's of Cache time with 24 or more even more Preferable.

One cpdn WU can last you multi-months running 24/7 on a fast cpu - useful as a backup. It also ignores report deadlines.
Just suspend the project when everything else is running fine.
Cheers,

i was refering to host and user,if you have 2 projects and they both load up with weeks of work your host average goes down but the user average goes up and visversa for the other project.hard to keep everthing going up.
