At the moment I have 2 Laptops who crunchs P@H-Wu's.

even they are +/- equal they get different quantites of work, and I ask me : why?

These Laptop has a NVIDIA - GPU (GX 103M) , BoincMgr 6.10.18 with a restriction config.xml-file for no GPU use. These machine has a daily quota of 47 Wu/CPU and get 1 to 4 WU's each hour
Dual Core CPU, which is marked as have 2 virtual CPU's

The second Laptop has a ATI - GPU (Radeon HD 5x00), BOINCMgr 6.10.58 with setting: never uses GPUs (what doesn't work correctly) , These machine has a daily quota of 0 Wu/CPU ??? and get 0 to 1 WU each hour (mostly 0)
1 P6000 CPU which is marked as 2 real CPU's

Why these difference in dailyquota and why gets the faster machine (2nd LT) less work then the older attached?

He fails because the scheduler isn't responding and for that it will be penalized for an other hour !!

Each machine is limited to one work request every 3600 seconds (an hour) because it allows more people to get work. This project doesn't have much work to begin with, so it's only fair.

As for getting 0 new tasks: I know what you mean but don't know how to explain it. My two older Core Duo machines would make requests and get 0 tasks, whereas my i5, and even Pentium 4 always got four tasks. Then with Core 2 Duos it seemed like I might get 1 or 2 tasks every couple hours.

Don't know why that is. I do know for sure, though, that you can only make one work request per machine every hour. Also that happens automatically, so technically you don't have to click anything.
