I am using a Compaq quad processor Windows 2003 server and the latest Boinc software, however Boinc only seems to only use 1 processor is the Boinc software multi threaded.

You most likely need to adjust your preferences on the website. BOINC normally is capable of seeing and using any number of processors automatically if your preferences allow it.

Ok I found it

On multiprocessors, use at most 2 processors

I changed it to 4.

David,

If you are runing more than one project you may want to consider increasing the swap interval to a larger number than 1 hour. If you are running just SETI@Home, don't bother.

Welcome to you and your 4 processor system ...
