question: I have a Core2Duo. Is there a way to use both cores? Has anyone tried the beta for the multiple cores yet? is it stable?
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Just downloaded the 64-bit version for Linux; will be running it in the background from now on. Thanks for starting up this team... it's probably been over a year since I've run a Folding@Home client on any machines. Nice to have a reminder.

If I remember correctly, with old versions of distributed computing clients such as Seti@Home, you could simply run two instances of the client to take advantage of dual CPUs. Of course, you'd have to run command-line versions based out of different directories for this to work... I'm running the 64-bit version for Linux myself, but I only have a single core Athlon 64 chip, so I can't test this method myself.

Hrmm... What I was referring to was the ability to assign a process to run on a specific CPU under Win2K back in the old days. Maybe I was using a command-line client that didn't support multiple CPUs then, but I definitely had to run two instances to get max performance.

Have you tried running two instances simultaneously, and then monitoring CPU utilization via Task Manager (or top, as the case may be... what O/S are you running, anyhow?)

Currently my dual-core is running 2 different instances - Lattice project and uFluids, the other 2 waiting for their turn are Rosetta and SpinHenge. (at least on this machine anyway.)
