Folding and cpu usage

[bkswaney]

I was wondering if this is suppose to be like this.... I have folding cpu usage wide open but my PC only shows 50% load.

Do any of u guys using a new HT P4 and fold? What r u reading?
I know it does not slow me down any leaving it running. :)
Dang this rig must have a lot of HP. :D

Are you using the Windows(GUI) client or the console version?

Windows and console.

Both run at 50 load when set to 100%.
I'm guessing it has something to do with HT on the new P4's.
Heck I cannot even tell it's running. This new rig is a real work horse.
Hope I can do my part to help out. No need to let all with cpu power go to waste. :)

I run SETI and I noticed the same thing when I built my new hyperthreading system. It does indeed only show 50% usage when SETI is running and I actually play games/run demos while SETI is running without any hiccups.

I know it's cool. :D
I mutitask like mad and this is the first rig I've ever built that handles it this well. Heck you can hardly stall the dang thing. :D
