    I will have to try this later after a finished wu. Do you think it will work with an already installed client? I think I will just run the configonly flag and try to set it up.

    As for running 2 smp clients, I don't understand why you would want to do that. Running one client maxes all four cores. I have been running the smp client with the quad in my sig for months. I average about 3200 a day.

    Even though task manager says it's at 100% doesn't make it so.

    I ran two clients on a quad for a few weeks and the points were nice, but if one client closes the second crashes and corrupts the work unit. Since it uses a lot of memory and every bit of all 4 cores it's tough to get things done on a machine that you actually use, and especially if you want to game on it, so you have to close the clients down....there are ways around keeping the unit from corrupting but it's a hassle. If it was a dedicated folder maybe you could make the argument, but you'd be better off running a Linux installtion anyway.
    It did add a nice point boost but not worth it IMO. It scores almost the same as running two Linux SMP's in VM ware.

    From what I've seen on my quad, running 1 SMP client its does ~9min per frame and when running 2 SMP clients it does ~12min per frame on each.

    Has it been constant? And if not have you tried that neat Affinity changer? Might help on that.
