dual xeon server

1 SMP client should handle it in my experience.
I briefly ran the FAH SMP client on a server with 2 X5690s (6 cores each) and only had to run one client with the "smp -24" flag set
Just set the thread count in the config to the number of cores seen by the OS e.g if both xeon's are quads, then set it to "-smp 16" if both are hex-core then "-smp 24"

hmm ok thanks, well theyre really old xeons, one of the servers is only 32 bit! the other has the first gen of 64 bit xeons
basically theres two physical single core processors in each and they have 2 threads each, also how do i set those flags?

smp -4
if i put the shortcut to target as this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-x86\[email protected]" -smp 4
after the program launches, it crashes after about 10 seconds :/

That sounds like you have the non smp client installed or the gui client maybe. Not sure if the gui client works with smp, but if it does you will have to add it in the Additional Client parameters in the Advanced tab
You install the SMP client from the High Performance Clients page here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther
Its a command line program.
