Do I just start SETI four times and Windows allocates the work
automagically, or do I need to do something different myself?
Are you going to run Classic or Boinc? If Classic just get a hold of
SetiDriver and set the max cpu(the very top box) to 4 and the box just
under it to 8 or more. DO NOT click the processor affinity box, that
locks a particular workunit to a particular cpu and you really don't
care.
Ah. I've used SETI Driver since its early days; should have thought of
that! Thanks.

You do realize that Classic is closing, probably within 30 days?!
Yes, but I thought that if I can get 40 classic WUs a day out of four
virtual processors I might just get my 10K certificate before the
final curtian comes down!
Any thoughts on how to drive BOINC through multiple processors?
Thanks, Tom
