HKMk23 described the process correctly. Follow his instructions and you’ll do fine.

In all fairness a P4 Hyper threaded CPU is not a dual core CPU. Ir WILL run two instances of F@H but not any faster than running one F@H (according to the experts). Has to do with the chip architecture and the level 1 cache.

Use of two kernals in one P4HT is discouraged because it takes each kernal longer to complete, and slightly slows the science down.

I have done it and find that I receive a few more points off the box. Go figure.

Thanks to all for keeping this thread alive while I fly to a different city every day.

Thanks for the insight. I think I’ll leave well enough alone for now. I did get F@H installed on one more computer today.

I’m going to ask my father to install on his new PC. I wonder if the units will still count, since he’s a card-carrying member of the Arkansas Democrat Party :) .....
