Mike I have a question for you.....I just got an AMD 64 3200+ system
that I am running Seti on. I am running version 3.03 of the CLI and of
course Seti Driver, should I have 2(or more) in the "maximum
processes" box? I would like to get the most out of this machine. It
is doing 1 unit in just about 2 hours when I have it set to 1 in the
box. I only have the 512k L2 cache chip, the 1 and 2 meg L2 cache
chips were too expensive. I currently have a 1 in the box.

Don't turn on the "Set Affinity".  It will cause a HT enabled system to lock

Ok, running SetiDriver now with two instances at 50% each :)
