Just a note to The dev team, you guys are probably already working on this but ill speak up any way. Boinc is only using half of my dual core processor. Suport should be added to either crunch 2 projects at a time, or for one project to use boath sides.
Keep up the good work!!!!

It WILL crunch 2 at a time. Just set the option in General Preferences on Your Account page, for the number of processors to use.

At maximum you can use 4 CPUs, I think. That's per computer and it doesn't matter if they are physical CPUs or hyperthreaded ones.

A bit of confusion here, the max quota is limited to no more than 4 CPUs. However I do not believe there is a limit to the number of CPUs that can crunch, there is at least one host with 64 CPUs on SETI.
