Recently, a couple of questions have come up about Folding At Home and the new Hyperthreading technology available with the Intel processors.

Q.1. F@H only registers 50% on my CPU usage meter. Can I make it use 100%?

A.1. You can turn off the Hyperthreading, but this apparently makes little to no difference to the frame time. Don't ask me why - it's too horribly complex to answer!

Q.2. OK, so if I'm going to use Hyperthreading, what can I do to make sure I'm utilizing (see I can spell American!) all of my CPU's potential?

A.2. The best way is to run two instances of the F@H client. This is particularly easy to do. Just follow FAQ 3015 How do I setup multiple FAH clients on the same machine? and you'll be folding to maximum potential in no time!

got feedback? got feedback?

Any feedback you provide is sent to the owner of this FAQ for possible incorporation and shown publically as well.
