Can someone tell me how to get Prime running twice?

I have it running once, but there is room for more...

Thanks

doesn't prime95 use 100% cpu power?
if so why do you need 2 instances?

It uses about 95% or so because of HT etc, you need another instance just to max it out if you like.

Agreed... in my case, it only loads up (looking at windows task manager) one side of the cpu, and then only to about 65% (maybe I have a setting set wrong there?)

I was wanting to get both sides going full-noise.
