I have 2 monitors on my PC and use hyperthreading. Can it be build like this that both processes that are running display on one of them? So you can see both processes at the same time? 2nd monitor is disabled right now.

I'm not a "programmer" but I have dabbled in it a little so I will try to answer the best I can.
To get two results to display on your monitor at the same time using the boinc manager would require rewriting the code to display the separate results at the same time. It now only shows the result you have selected in the manager's "work" tab. However, if you run the boinc client separately from the boinc manager, you might could try running two instances of the boinc manager in separate windows and select a different work unit in each instance. There are also other programs that you can get succh as boincview. I run Linux so I don't know how this program works, but I have used kboincspy to do the same thing however it doesn't show the same graphics that the boinc manager is capable of. Hope this helps.

I will check this when I get this particular PC back. It kinda died on me yesterday. When starting a heavy application, it just crashes. So I am now running BOINC on my "spare" PC, without hyperthreading...

I would also like multiple monitor support. The hyperthreading bit doesn't apply to me, I just think it would look cool to have something on each display (even if it's the same thing on both).
