| Re: Quad core question You are basically using all of one core, leaving the other 3 idle. To get full chat at 100% you would need to install 4 console clients, in different folders and run each one with a different cpu number. Jasons tip on the top of the folding forum shows how.

| Re: Quad core question the smp client is no good if you turn your computer off at night because, not only does it not checkpoint meaning your WUs would restart at each reboot, the deadlines are very tight. The SMP version is fine on machines that run 24/7.

| Re: Quad core question I knew about the tight deadlines, but didn't know it didn't checkpont. I've not tried it yet because I've only got dual cores, but I'm going to give it a go and see what happens.
