That would be awesome if i got my school to load folding@home on all of their PC's... (with my user name of course )

Well they do provide for a possibility of running folding@home on both cores. It has been discussed in this thread earlier. Anyway, glad to have you guys joining the team.

I tried installing it twice, both in sepereate folders, but it wouldnt work. I was thinking that if i installed it in seperate folders, and made another account in XP that i may be able to have one running there, and one running on my main account. Think thats possible?

I tried installing it twice, both in sepereate folders,

did you use the console version, because this feature of running 2 apps at once is only for the console version

[tweaker]

1. Create two separate folders on your computer named something like
F@H1
F@H2

2. Place one console installer in each folder

3. Install them one at a time from their folder answering the questions, during setup you'll be asked for a name, make sure to give them both a unique name like 1, 2...

They will now fold on separate cores without slowdown, but as mentioned, running the console version will sacrifice most control options.

I did get the console, but it seemed like it was just continuing the fold from the other version i had on there.

And if i used two different names, it would defeat the purpose of me getting more points

I'm not talking about having two contributor names, just two Machine ID's. Set your Core 1 to Machine 1, and core 2 to Machine 2.

only 4 hours til my TINKER core has completed, its been going for days, lol... im slightly excited to see how many points this thing gives. WOO c'mon, join 44358

I was folding on my old 500Mhz box, but after literally 72 hours going straight, (not turned off once) it hadnt moved off of 1/400 frames, so either it wasnt working or the PC is actually just sooo crap its unbelievable.

I have all these PC's around me tht i cant use, if i installed it on my sisters she would crucify me (i built the damn thing and she doesnt let anyone near it, i swear shes hiding stuff on there) My dad is always in a bad mood so theres no point even trying to ask him, and hes only got a 733Mhz celery so.... My mum only has a laptop thats old and shitty, my dad has a killer laptop, but thats for his work and shit. My other PC is currently in bits and thats nothing greater than the 500Mhz box that didnt work. lol, all ive got is my PC. grrr

Anyway, yeh, my WU will be done soon. On the list it says ive done 3, which is right, but on the client it says ive done 2... eh?? any ideas
