Does any one know if i can run BOINC, and SETI CLASSIC at the same time??
If so, HOW? Please give me a detailed explanation.
I have a pentium with HT, and only use 50% CPU. Would love to use it all.....SEAN

You could set your general preferences in BOINC to run 2 CPUs to use 100% of the CPU for BOINC projects. Or you can run BOINC on 1 CPU and run one copy of S@H classic. Since S@H classic is going to go away eventually, the first approach would probably be more productive in the long run.

I currently have 4 computers with P4 with HT and I can say that if you do make the setting change as suggested by John you will be getting NEAR the speed of truly having two CPUs, you don't quite get there because of the fact that the processors are "logical" vice physical.

My 4.2 does a WU in about 2:45 to 3:00, where my single threaded 2.8 does one in about 3:15 to 3:40

Your mileage may vary ...
