Finally found time to throw 2 PII 333MMX cpu's into my old PII box.
I'M trying to run 2 clients but having no luck.
How do you set this up? I thought I could just I just download two clients into seperate folders
and start them up but the rig is only allowing 1 of them to run.
Right now, it is is only utilizing 50% of the processors.
Help!

Tyan S1692D TIGER II running NT

Make sure you run the FAH.exe -config in each directory.  Dont just copy directories.

If you're running the command line version, when it starts up go into advanced options and set the machine ids to be different.

yeah definately make sure the machine id's are different with the console, even though they say they got it fixed and you dont have to, do it anyway  i did about 5 of the same unit's before i changed mine out  now it's working much better

OK, switched over to the console version and was successful!
81 hours to crank out two 7.3 point WUs. If you ask me, that is not to bad for that old box.

if your using XP or 2k, just

go to task manager and right click on the .exe and then set affinity to CPU 0 for one of the clients and the CPU 1 for the other
