You can run as many projects as you like. Having more than one project going at any one time helps guarantee that you won't be left without WUs if one of the project servers goes down for whatever reason.
I split my usage over 6 projects at the moment, as they are all projects that I am interested in.
normally with boinc you can push cards farther than you could playing some games. with 1 for sure exception. DnetC on ati cards push the VRMs to near melting point. so watch the temps close for the first hour or so to see what they max at.

ok, sounds good. this weekend i will be working on another rig getting the water loop ready. so this weekend i will overclock the card some and i will be sure to watch the temps, although to this point i haven't seen over 50c on stock clocks.
what i did with my MSI R5770 Hawk was took off the stock cooler, removed the crappy stock TIM, applied MX-3 and while it was apart i added Enzotech BCC9's to it. i have had this card about a 1.5 months and really been running Boinc about 3 +/- weeks and i haven't seen my card go past 50c at full load.
i guess it's ok, seems to work aight... gonna oc it some this weekend and see how the temps change then..
i installed it a while ago, but i didnt see any improvement. I believe each project supports a different version, and its up to each project to implement the newer revisions of the software.
you can run only cpu apps and it wont hurt your folding a bit. Now if you run any Gpu apps, they will fight for priority of your gpu and will kill your folding points. I suggest to run cpu only if you want to do both.
