Hyperthreading and Seti

[gibler6666]

I assume that if I have Hyperthreading active I should be running two processes of Seti?
Is this correct?

Otherwise Task Manager in XP tells me that Seti is only using 50% of the cpu at most.
I'm using Seti Driver 3.08

Yes you should run two instances. BTW CLI v3.03 is faster than v3.08.

you are correct. because of the way the HT works you *may* see some slowdown when you play games if you don't manually drop to one process (which will then not show more than a .5-1% slowdown running 1 process) but in all other situations using 2 processes you will see no slowdown and will use 100% of the CPU, getting a 30%+ boost in WU per period of time.

Thats correct, jus set maximum processes to 2 in setidriver, and make sure you check the "Set processor affinity" box
