Rig running again, folding craziness. Help!

[Inceptor]

So I got my rig running and it's folding away right. I check my task manager and it's using 50% CPU. System idle is at 50%.

It seems to be capped at 50% it won't go any higher. The only thing I could find that may explain it was a dxdiag said I had 2 CPUs, this was news to me since I'm pretty sure my 2.4 Northy is a single CPU.

Of course the 50% cap and the fact that I downloaded the single CPU F@H version would explain it, but I'm just too new to this to know what the deal is.

If any of you veteran folders can explain this to me and let me know what I need to do to get her folding at 99% that'd be great.

thats because you have Hyper Threading, that makes windows think you have two cpus. You need to get the dually one click :D

Only a few days. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=61920&page=54&pp=30)

I started on my wife's computer but the stock cooling on her 2000+ athlon wasn't cutting the mustard so she stopped folding on hers and I started on mine once it was running.
