Jason, that is basically what I have running except for one which is a dual core that eats them up. The other three are nothing but boat anchors but they are doing research. Better to use them for this than throw them in the closet.

Carl, with a little massaging, you can take a slow box and turn it into a beast. I have a Windows 2000 machine that will eat a Vista box for a snack and think nothing of it. It runs like a top on a PIII machine with 1 gig of memory and a 128 meg video card. I have done nothing to it since I built it back in 2001 just as XP was hitting the shelves. There is nothing yet that I have found that can beat a plain intel BX 440 SE2 for just a plain workhorse.

Carl, "dual-core" and "quad-core" processors are nothing more than 2 or 4 processors, respectively, on a single chip.
An analogy would be that a "dual-core" car would have 2 engines and a "quad-core" car would have 4 engines...
As for the 1 GHz (one gigahertz, or one billion cycles per second), that type of rating is roughly the number of calculations your computer is capable of per second. (That's a generalization, other techies could explain all the other factors that go into that number, but you'd end up drinking more Busch than you do now after reading those explanations).
Paul....the first 2 sentences with the #'s you typed.............made me stupid(ok...more stupid)..
Sorry bout that Carl.
I have an old computer that I built in 2001. It has all intel componets and I installed Windows 2000 Pro on it and maxed out the memory with one gig.
It will open a can of whoop ass on the new computer I just built that I have installed Vista Ultimate, has two cores or engines and 4 times as much memory.
Sometimes older is better, just like all of us old farts.

Jason and Paul..I understand the dual and Quad....I just didn't know you could assign(right term??) seperate F@H's for each core. I guess I bought my LT too soon. I thought it was 1 F@H running 2 or 4x's faster.
Yah, you can assign one to each, but dpending on the system, I would not recommend it. I tried it and when FAH was running, nothing else would. It turned it into a slug.

I bet to run F@H on multiple cores you have to have a boatload of memory. I could be wrong, but I think that F@H runs better on my 1.5GHz laptop with 2GB memory than my 3.2GHz desktop with 1GB memory. Processor speed is certainly important, but memory goes a long way, too.
Not really a memory hog, but if you set up the GUI program, it will stunt it growth.

WOW, nobody is posting here. Just to bump it to the top to get some views. A lot of the members have quit doing this. I wonder why? It is for a good cause.
Well I am still trying to gt that number 15 spot, but I am getting ready to break 110K.
Lets get this fired up over the summer while we are outside and let our puters work a bit!

I'm a little bummed about people quiting also. Especially since it takes no effort to participate...........You can have my #15 spot as soon as I get # 14!
