UMMMM, sort of, with the Boinc GUI that is true, HOWEVER...in Classic
you can use SetiDriver and the CLI version and actually run 4 in this
instance. 1 CLI in each 512meg of L2 cache memory. Within SetiDriver
just set the max process's to 4 and the min cache size to at least 8
and you will run 4 at a time. You will need a program like SetiWatch
to keep track of all of them though. SeitSpy only shows the one
closest to being done.

  I didn't say is wasn't possible, I said it wasn't feasible. It'll
run the 4 but you get no benefit. If fact there's a slight loss of
performance due to multi-tasking overheads.

Well that isn't true when it comes to running two instances of the CLI with
Pentium M CPUs with 1MB of L2. The WUs process quite a bit faster.
