I need to go read the other threads here I thought I saw a question relating to using a dual CPU motherboard, maybe this is the only answer to the problem...
You should be able to run both on a dual CPU motherboard. While I haven't tried it, as long as SETI isn't multi-threaded, it should work. If SETI is multi-threaded you'll see the same problem as the SETI threads will take over all the CPUs.
The same would apply to hyperthreaded CPUs, but since it's not a true SMP scenario, you won't see a true 50/50 split. SETI will still take a majority of the CPU, though how much is hard to say.

With seti you can chose how many cpu's are max used. So on dual/HT systems you can run seti next to this client if you want without any problems
