There is a fair amount of Hardware discussion over on The DC Zone at http://thedczone.com/phpbb2/index.php You might want to try posting a query there.

I check our database and nobody has yet connected with a dual core so you will be breaking new ground, but from everything I have read there should be no problems.

I am running an AMD A64 X2 duel core on Linux with WCG. Both cores are crunching.
No problem, works good. BTW I am running Linux SuSe 10.0 64 Bit OS |

Just started the grid on a Red Hat Linux with Dual Processors..... 600GB of HDD and 2GB of RAM ...... The funny part is that the program hasn't brought the CPU above 60% usage !!!

Check in the Ksysguard and make sure you have two instances of rosetta running..

Don't know what's the preset over here but i might be possible you need to change something in the device profile to let it use more then 1 processor... |

I have BOINC running just fine on a quad Opteron 275 under a x86_64 kernel. Having trouble attaching to WCD but other projects run fine.
