I have a Dell 4x 550mhz that is doing a good job on crunching, but even when I have changed the options to use 4 processors via seti@home, it still only crunches one at a time whereas my p4 dimension crunches 2 at a time..

what gives?

Did you update the project you set the options at in BOINC?

Open Boinc Manager, Projects TAB, Select project you set it for, press Update with LMB.

If I remember correctly, a multiprocessor computer will only crunch one workunit when it is first attached to the project. After the first workunit is completed it should start processing multiple workunits. The computer you are referring to shows two CPU's so it should start processing two at a time once the first one is done.
