Do I have to provide admin login and password to setup an smp?
Would SMP be a great gain over 2 regular cpu client?
I think it needs admin, yes. But it has been a while since I ran it. Like well over a year - at that point, SMP was a touchy thing and I got fed up with babysitting it constantly.

I'd be concerned about heat. Laptops don't have the best of cooling for constant load like that, although some do handle it OK.

As metal mentioned, F@H generally doesn't like mobile GPUs. But you could give it a shot. Again, I'd be worried about heat....
