Go to the Seti site, click on one of the links that says 'Account' or 'Your Account', then click on the Computing Preferences link.

Or BOINC Manager->Projects tab->Select Seti, click Your Preferences in the options on the left. That gets you into your account, from where you can go to the computing and project preferences.

(weirdly enough the "Your account" button brings you nowhere near your account, while the "Your preferences" button doesn't actually take you to your preferences... ;-))
