Running Multiple Computers on one network - New member names required for each?

A friend's office recently moved locations and purchased all new computers for the new office. The "old" computers were going to the trash, and I was able to get two of them, one a Pentium II and one a Pentium III. I also was able to salvage a Cisco switch unit, so I can network them all together. I intend to assign these two "new" computers to running FightAids@Home 24/7. Can anyone tell me if I need to assign them different user names, or if I will just download the program and log in with the user name I am currently using? All computers will be runnign Windows platforms. Thanks much for any advice.

You can assign as many computers as you want to to your member name. When you register, there's an "existing member" checkbox on the top of the registration panel. Check that and enter your member name and email address and that device will then be tied to your member name and will start accruing points to you.

Thanks much! Not as concerned with the points as I am finding a cure! I hope to get the extra computing power up and helping soon! Happy Holidays! Garth

Exactly! I have seen to may threads about beating other teams on points, NOW, how would you all feel if I got a POWER5 and smoked you all and laughed in your face? would you feel good? This is not about points, its about working in a team! /* besides, we all know my AMD can smoke all but a power architecure /* Joking!
