Well I finally got some myself.

I have set the system to deal with 2 cores and not much for cpu usage. I run too much other projects to give up a full core for processing it. I do not mind the low credits for it.

I wonder how much it really is going to give me compared to what use to be?

The 2 core option is nice. Now I can run 2 low cpu tasks for FreeHAL, and the WUProp@Home one as well. I have one more core available for the low CPU usage projects on my 4 core desktop, which is the only one now running BOINC. When I get my old AMD 64 laptop back from a loan out, I may start using it again for BOINC crunching.
