I will try to keep as simple as possible:
Attention Win XP 64bit and Vista 32/64bit - My folding experience is based exclusively using Win XP 32bit. My answers for further questions will be based on that. I hope to get people folding with Vista and sharing the results.
My rigs are based in Core2 Duo CPU and 2Gb mem.
To fold dual GPU is necessary to leave both GPUs "Screen Active". Check pic 2. You can do that connecting two displays to your X2 card, using a "dummy plug" or the easiest way: Go to Catalyst Control Center / Display Options / Force TV detect. Check pic 1.

Make sure your ATI driver is the latest.
Uninstall any sys tray client you were using before. We are going to use the console client (more stable, less buggy and better folding performance).
To make the experience the easiest way, I created a zip file with the shortcuts and folding clients:
Download
Copy the shortcuts to your desktop and the "GPU" folders to your root "C:\". Do not rename the files/folders.
Now start the GPU_0 client, always using the desktop shortcut, and setup as follow:
I guess is not necessary to mention using your own "User Name". But if you want to fold for "mmaakk" I won't complain, I swear
TPU Team number is correct at the pic: 50711
Do the same with the GPU_1 shortcut but use a different "Machine ID".
After that you suppose to have both cores folding hard for TPU!
About fan speed and overclock: I recommend RivaTuner. OC only Core, not memory. You'll get better "stable results". OC is a patience game, so good luck. When you start getting Client messages like "Unstable Machine" you'll know that you went too far
I hope my thread was helpful and please report any error of my part. English is my second language, sorry for mistakes.
My special thanks to my friend Buck Nasty, "da man" who gave us FOLDERS a better home
