I just got another machine and loaded BOINC on it. I want to add this machine to my existing account and project. Do I use the same project code/key from my original email? Will is send the same work to both machines, or is it smart enough to realize that I have multiple machine working? Manual page seems to have blank space in this topic! I am using BOINC on PowerMac G5 dual and powerbook laptop.

Yes, you can (in fact: should) use the same account for every machine.

Every machine works independently from the others. It's the individual machine which tells Seti if it has to u/l or d/l something, the server doesn't care. Thus the blank in the manual - there's nothing to say about :-)=
