Thanks to all in this thread. I dl'd the driver and ran it and the CLI for
the first
time last night (~12Mdnt). I also had the gui client running. I checked the
Task
Manager and sure enough, 2 seti processes were listed each receiving 50% of
cpu time. Ain't HT grand? :)

Make sure you set the "desired cache size" to at least 4 then. This
will prevent the unlikely but can happen occurence of both processes
finishing at exactly the same time and requesting a work unit and
everything getting messed up not knowing which is way is up.

So this morning I thought I would awake to see my total crunch increased
from
2 to 4. Guess what?... the sah server was not connecting... :/

That is why you should put a couple of days worth of numbers in the
"desired cache size" box. i.e. if you can do 2 units in 3 hours that
is 16 per day and you would put 32 or so in the box. It does take
harddrive space to cache units locally, make sure you aren't maxed
out.

But still, all went very smoothly and I thought I would finish out this
thread with
a SUMMARY.

Thanks to all, you've been great!
Glad the system is up and running and everything is working!
Boinc is having similar problems connecting now too. Wonder if they
are connected. Maybe Berkeley Campus is down again?
