Here's a explanation that actually fits the duallie application a little closer. Same as the other, just explains how to set it up on duallies:D

Go into "My Computer", C: drive, Program Files, and create two new seperate folders named "F@H1" and "F@H2". Then go to Stanfords download page and download two seperate instances of the Text Only version, one in each of the two new F@H directories. Then go back into the directory and go to each of the new downloaded clients and right click on them and choose to create a shortcut. Leave that shortcut in the same folder with the exe. Then go to Start, program files, accessories, system tools, Scheduled tasks. Double click "add a new task". then click next on the shed. task screen. Click browse and go into the new F@H folders you just created. choose the new shortcut you just created. Choose "When my computer starts" and hit next. Then in the run command, Add a 1 or 2 at the end of the run command for each appropriate one. If asked, confirm your password. Then choose to go into advanced properties. hit finish. The adv. props will open, go to settings and uncheck "stop task if runs for more than 72 hours". Hit apply and close. Before you go in and do the next one, go ahead and restart your computer. The initial F@H screen should appear where you can designate your user name and team. After you set up your preferences, close that screen and give that one a minute to connect to stanford and download its first wu. Once your sure it's done, go ahead and repeat the process for the second set up. Once You've restarted for the second time, Both instances should be running in the background, untectable without ctrl, alt, deleting once and checking processes for the amount each instance is using, which should read 50% each. Or checking Performance and seeing both cpu windows at 100%. You can go into the directory and into each F@H folder and checking each ones progress by going into each F@H log file.
Hope this helps

Running two clients works great with hyperthreading, as well as two processors.
