Welcome to the team.
Are you using EM to run multiple clients? If you are not make sure that each client shows a different user id numbers when it opens. :cool:

Welcome to the team!
Stanman, Is there any real advantage to running more than one client at a time on a single proc system? It seems like it would take twice as long to finish the WU, but you would also be finishing two of them in that amount of time....

The only real good thing about running say two instances is that when one of them connects, the computer is still folding the other one. (This is also great when the servers are down for a short period)

All this means that the computer almost never sits idle, and we don't lose any clock cycles!

[Stanman]

Allan Nielsen pretty well sumed it up. I try to run three on most of them. It does take twice or three times long, which in the case of a server outage gives you that much more time before you run out. On the other hand you would not want to run more than one on a very slow rig that could just make the time limit. :)
