I have a new rig with an i5 2500k overclocked to 4.8GHz.

It doesn't have a GPU yet, so I'm going to let it do some Folding at Home. I installed the latest Folding at Home client, but in Task Manager, it only shows one process – and that process never exceeds 25%.

Why is it not using 100% of my CPU power? I have four cores available. I made sure that 'Do not lock cores to specific CPU' was ticked in the advanced configuration of the client.

Did you download the SMP High Performance client? You are probably running the old uni-client which is only singlethreaded. You should use version 6.34 or even the version 7 beta client.

See this guide for a proper installation and use of the version 7 client. Start at "QuickStart" there is also the download link.
