I have an acer running a i3 CPU U 380 1.33 ghz cpu.

This computer is an ultraportable/ netbook:



Will Boinc kill the computer quickly?

And a Einstein running a recent average credit of 128.

Will Boinc kill the computer quickly?

If BOINC were a computer killer, no one in his right mind would run it. So no, BOINC will not kill that computer, or any other computer, ever.

As for it being able to run work quickly, that highly depends on which project you run and which application(s) within that project. Perhaps that adding an after-market GPU would help.

Running the cpu at 100% for 24/7 will not prematurely kill the cpu or any other component in the laptop?

If it would, it would be a bad component. CPUs, memory, drives, videocards, motherboards, etc. are built to be run at full force for weeks on end. As long as you've got good cooling...

But even then, it's been since the AMD Athlons that CPUs couldn't do without cooling. The Intels at the time could easily run without cooling, they'd just clock down when the internal thermometer would detect too high a temp. A nice old video about that is here at Youtube.




Apropos, the signature you're showing (with the broken link), is a bit fishy. I'd appreciate it if you'd take it down. It has nothing to do with BOINC or any of its projects and it comes without any warning whatsoever that this could potentially damage the phone if you don't know what you are doing. If you want to advertise that, please do it elsewhere.
