wait, you need a dedicated CPU core per GPU if you're running windows?!?!  wow.

Also, do you know if multithreading CPUs would count as 2 for this purpose?

I don't fold on windows but I expect that a logical core on a hyperthreaded system would be sufficient.  My understanding is that the CPU usage is just an idle loop.   Consuming CPU but doing very little.   As I've mentioned on Linux the actual CPU usage is insignificant.
