Dual P3 is up and running(after I "borrowed" some memory from boss ladies comp).However,system idle process is hogging 50% of cpu,other comps show 0% for this.Its a fresh install of xp so not sure what problem is.Any idea's?

Can only think of checking the Max CPU Usage settign and making sure it is not set to 50%?

TL,its set to use 100%,but when I look at process's it shows F@H useing 50% (approx) and system idle 50%.Haveing said that,it seems to be folding at a decent rate.

FAH isn't capable of multiprocessing, you need to run separately IDed processes and bind their affinity manually. Probbly.

Thx BFC,I'll have a go at that today hopefully. :)


Does Folding@home run on dual processor machines?

Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version (with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows). First, make additional directories for each processor and copy the FAH3Console executable file into each. Then configure them with the -config switch, filling in settings for each. It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings" option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 4). The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional copies should be given IDs of 2, 3 and 4. Each may then be run out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows. Instances should be attached to different processors, using whatever mechanism your OS provides for this purpose (e.g. Task Manager on Windows).

Thats what you said: :D
