To: processing please hold

You may be running one instance of F@H and not taking advantage of the second processor. But ...

Exactly what processor does your Dell have?

Intel HT? Intel Dual Core? Or just tell me the model number and I'll get the specs.

Intel has released chips that have two cores in one chip. If it is an HT, then you really only have one core with two pipelnes into it.

If you have an Intel Duo Core 2 chip, you have two CPUs in one chip and you will be able to run two instances of F@H, and get almost twice as many points.

To: texas booster
I looked around and can't find my paperwork. I put it somewhere where I wouldn't lose it. It's not lost, it's just where I put it.

Is there somewhere on my machine where I can find out what it is?
