Dell is the computer manufacturer. They assemble the components.

Bruce as asking about the CPU chip on the motherboard. Intel or AMD? What model and speed?

Video device = video card = GPU... What video card puts the pictures on the screen?

If you are not sure what these things are, let's just start with the Model Number for that Dell computer...

@bruce DCNE is the model number
@7im i think it's Intel.

Is it either the optiplex 780 or 960?

actually, it's none of those, it's a Optiplex GX620 Dell Windows XP computer.

Go to Start -> Run, then enter "dxdiag", without the quotes, in the "Open:" field, then hit enter. In a few seconds the DirectX Diagnostic Tool will pop up (there may be a window asking you to allow it to do something, answer however you feel).

The CPU is listed under the Processor field. If you select the Display tab (third from the left) the GPU will be displayed in Name field (and probably the Chip Type field as well).

Or, download cpuz -> http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z/ve ... story.html

Generate a text report for all your hardware with '-txt=report', paste the report on the forums in code tags.

Or, run my diagnostics which will also give the system info we need ( and can place the report posting ready on your clipboard so it's just ctrl+v and submit ) -> http://code.google.com/p/cftunity/downl ... p&can=2&q=

all i want to know is how to download a 2nd and 3rd F@h client.

You cannot run a 2nd or 3rd fah client if your computer does not have a 2nd or 3rd processor core.
That's why we MUST first know what kind of CPU processor is in this computer. There is no point in explaining how to do something if your computer does not support doing it.

intel Pentium 4 HT inside.

1 CPU client is recommended for a P4.

If that computer also had a GPU that supported fah, you could run a 2nd client on that GPU. But again, we would need to know the exact Make and Model of the GPU (video card) before recommended that.

whats a GPU?

Graphics Processing Unit, aka Video Card. It's a piece of hardware that accelerates the rendering of graphics on your monitor(s).

According to the Dell website, the OptiPlex GX620 comes with a choice of CPUs and a choice of GPUs. One option is the P4 with HT, and 7im has already responded to that issue.

The Graphics device is either the Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950® or an ATI Radeonª X600SE. Neither one is supported by FAH, so unless you've installed some add-on cards, you should not run more than one client and if you did, it would be detrimental to do so.
