I am aware the SETI-BOINC software can make use of multiprocessor

virtual CPUs? For example - a dual HT enabled Xeon could run 4
instances at the same time!!

Yes it can. A friend of mine does that. Runs two WU's at the same time.
Saves about 10-15 min per WU too!

There's something about the idea of a single 'home' ATX or ATXE machine
continuously churning out WU's from  four DC clients concurrently, that
really ROX me! :-)
