Can you use quad processors?

[jethroted]

If you have a comp with 4 processors, can you run 4 copies of F@H? Anyone know?

If the version of the folding application is made to do so, sure.

A Sun, IBM, Dell, HP, or Cray box perhaps? They all make 4-way SMP models.

I've heard of cray systems... just not installed stuff on them

I'm just curious to know if you could use a quad setup. You can buy quad pentium 3 or xeon boards. They're big $$ though.

4 folders, 4 folding apps, 4 -local switches, 4 independent machine ids

i think if it's possible for 2 without stanford intending it, it's possible for 4
