I can turn on or off astropulse (or seti) at the account level. However, I would like to have only my faster opteron systems process astropulse. Seems this is not possible. I would like to let my slower systems (xp & mp) run seti, but not astropulse.

Yes, it is possible. All you need do is set up a separate venue in your account. Other than the default SETI@home preferences venue there are three additional venues possible - Home, School, Work. Select one to set up to use Astropulse. Click add preferences at bottom of page. You then go to 'Computers on this account' select the ID number for the computer you want to change venues, and changes it's venue at bottom then update page. Now update the Boinc on the computer to get the new venue designation.
