Will F@H client use all available processors on a system?

I have a dual celeron doing nothing. I'm thinking about running F@H on it. Will the F@H client use both processor or just use one of it? If it just use one, can I just run the client twice and assign each processor a client to run?

By default, it will use just one. There's some special stuff you have to do to make it work on both procs. Trying to remember where I saw those documents on it....

run the client twice and assign each to a proc. I very highly doubt F@H is multithreaded and can run on two processors at once. Its just too much work considering how easy it is to run two clients at once.

I use the console version on a dual P3. Create two directorys with the client program in each. Set the machine id of the clients as 1 and 2. You will find the machine id in the advance config option. Not sure about the graphical client.

Btw, you can't run 2 instances of the graphical client so you'll have to use the console version.
