    I brought an IBM X-Series 235 server out of the storeroom to run BOINC, but the results ar below expectation. Apparently the Xenon is no number cruncher. Now I want to replace it with an Intel i5 750 machine. Do I just stop the Xenon and start over with the Intel i5, or is there a special procedure. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

      Why switching? Just let the Xeon finish its three remaining tasks and then retire it.

      You can attach the i5 and start crunching even before the Xeon has finished.
