I like the program but I want to run on 6 threads so I can have 2 free for other stuff.
Any idea how I can do this?
If you're using windows you can try this:
1) Press ctrl+shift+escape
2) Select the "processes" tab
3) Right click on "POOL_MINER.exe" and select "set affinity" from the context menu
4) Uncheck the threads you'd like to dedicate to other things
Hopefully that does it for you.
Also, I tried running the executable on a windows xp 64bit machine, but it won't start and claims that it's not a win32 application.
