2 account setup questions

Post by prodigal1012 »

my wife and i both have FAH accts on our current pc's.
we both just got dual core replacements and want to setup FAH to work off of both cores as well as leaving our current pc's on our home network working folding as well.
could somebody point me to the faq articles for setting up folding on dual core machines and any which deal with multiple machines on the same account?
i seem to remember that one core had to be console, the other gui but the devil is in the details.....

much thanks

First you have to know if you run your machines long enough to run the SMP clients. Or if you will use two standard client by machine.

Then, all you have to do is to setup the same Username and Teamnumber on all your machines (be carefull, Username is case sensitive, "JohnDoe" is not the same as "johndoe" or "John Doe").

our machines generally run 24/7---but, am still not sure where to check for info on how to set up 2 clients/threads on the same machine.

If this doesn't explain it well enough, ask again.

If your machines run 24/7, you can go for the SMP client ;)
