Using Graphical client with Dual Core

I would love to run F@H instead of SETI@Home but I really, I want to use the graphical client. I want to use two clients to get the most WUs done. Is there a way that I can use two graphical clients? Maybe I can turn the SS off in one of the clients and have it on in the other one?
 
May I ask why you need a graphical client? You could always use EM3 if you want to look at something, and it would be much more stable and much faster...

 
given that the graphical client has some problems sharing OpenGL context with other OpenGL applications (games like Doom 3), I doubt they'd get along nicely together. If you want to use the graphical client for the fact that you like to see the pretty picture of what's being calculated along with progress displayed in real time, I'm going to recommend using the console client AND Electron Microscope III. It works great with dual client setups, can be easily minimized to the system tray, displays a visual readout of the protien and a ton more information about progress, speed, etc. than even stanford's own graphical client.

If you're looking to use the graphical client due to ease-of-setup, then, I honestly must say that setting up the console clients isnt really any harder, it just takes a little typing but its all very straight forward.

If you need any help, this is the best place to come.
 
Okay, I'm trying that, but nothing is appearing in the EMII window. I liked the graphical client because I could see the proteins folding via the SS and I could see the updates real time. I just found the F@H console client distanced and boring. I've just been a S@H fan all my life and I LOVE BOINC so yeah...
 
You have to indicate where your console client EXE is located. I believe there is a button that allows for those types of configurations in EM3.. I'd tell you exactly where, but I dont even use EM3 to be honest because I just look at unitinfo.txt to view current progress, etc. (I dont care for fancy graphics showing what is being done.. all the more CPU cycles for actual research). My guess would be the microscope button in the top left. ;)

However, when all is set up, it should look like this screenshot:

I see you are running a 1.6 ghz processors and you are processing 1 unit in 3 hours-What your fsb? What is your socket and hyper?
