I installed Windows XP Pro x64 last week, and really didn't think about it much at first, but Windows isn't assigning work equally to each CPU. Running F@H right now, and CPU 0 is running at 25% and CPU 1 is running at 75%. I looked, and both CPUs are checked when I look at "set affinity".

    How much would that matter? It didn't seem to when I was running Windows XP Pro 32bit, I am running the exact same F@H program (v6 beta 1) as I did in 32bit Windows.

    Strange thing is, the nVidia Stability test only tests Core 0, when doing the CPU test.

    Ah, ok. I will. BTW, can I still use EMIII? Also, here is what the CPU usage history looks like after running WoW

    --EDIT--
    Also, SMP client isn't downloading anything, but it does connect

    --EDIT 2--
    I just had to wait for a bit, its downloading a new core
