Should I really run two F@H clients at once on my Pentium 4 HyperThreaded CPU?
If it is a 1MB cache or higher P4 HT CPU, you would see some benefit from running two clients at once. If it is not, I advise against it since it is not true dual core CPU. It is possible, but the benefits are not as great as a true dual core CPU. Q: How do I set up two clients to run at the same time? A: You must use the console version of the client for both instances. Create a directory (folder) for each client named CPU1 and CPU2 and run each from their own directory. Q: When I shut down my computer, do I lose my work? A: No. Checkpoints save your work between 3-30 minutes depending on your configuration. I recommend home users use 15 minute intervals, and office users use 30 minute intervals. Q: How long do I have for each project? A: Every project is different in size and complexity, and comes with it’s own deadline. Most are a month, but some are two months. Refer to the “unitinfo.txt” file after you configure your client. Q: It’s been over an hour, and progrss is still 0 of 100
