Thanks for the quick and clear response! Time to buy some more memory...

In my BOINC Manager, I only have one CPDN task showing, hadam3p_eu_84fe_2005_1_008164954_1. (I have set it to show both active and waiting tasks.)

However, in Process Explorer I see two processes:
    hadam3p_eu_um_6.09_windows_intelx86.exe (CPU 48.98, virtual size 1,127,180 K)
    hadrm3p_eu_um_6.09_windows_intelx86.exe (CPU 0, virtual size 1,054,624 K)


Only the first one is using any CPU but both are using about a GB of memory. The names differ by one character (hadrm3p instead of hadam3p).

Questions:
1. Is this how it should be?
2. Why are two processes needed?

Thanks.
