Best DC projects for a non-dedicated cruncher E-350 rig

Was running correlizer, but that ran dry. Now running Neurona@home.

Any other good candidates.

WCG seems to run well on the AMD APU processors, so I'm thinking the E-350 could do the same (albeit with a reduction in process usage - 25% of total CPU). I've manually throttled the amount of work the A8-3850 APU does for thermal reasons.

So far it works very well, running WCG and handles my parents' Photoshop use on a regular basis.

can you run the POEM GPU app on that?

I don't know about running DC apps on an APU's SPs (the GPU part). Last time I tried that, it caused the entire machine to run painfully slowly. There aren't enough extra GPU resources for DC and Windows, unlike most desktop GPUs.

It runs fine on my mobile A6. Not sure how different the E-350 will be though

If needed, just use app_info so that it the whole GPU won't be used
