Could I fold on both at once?

I'm currently in the middle of installing the drivers for the iGPU and dGPU at the moment (its taking a really long time due to the hurdles AMD has thrown in) and I was wondering if its possible to fold on the Mobility Radeon HD 4250 and Mobility Radeon HD 5650 at the same time? And I know that they are both slow, but they are both a hell of a lot faster than the Quadro NVS 110M in my previous laptop (it struggled with a lot of games from before 2005-even Halo 1, these at least can get playable settings in most recent games-though the Phenom II's low clock speed can be a problem):

Why don't you just try it out? Create another folding slot for the other GPU inside the advanced control and see if it works. I can't see why it wouldn't.

Even if you succeed, I strongly discourage you doing so. I have a 6670, and even folding 24/7, it just barely makes it; if I stop for just a day, sometimes I miss the deadline. I assume you'd have an even harsher time, given your GPUs are slower than mine.

 

Still, that's not to say that your GPUs are useless. You can always install Boinc and use their projects. I use my 6670 for Primegrid, and it takes around 1h and 30min to do the shorter tasks. I Also have a 4350 on my old desktop, it takes around 15h (can't remember exactly) to crunch those. It's not stellar performance / points, but hey, at least it can be used for something.

Well I do have Boinc setup on a desktop. I might switch it to F@H then.

the hd4250 will most likly not fold since all hd4000 series and under have become depreciated and arent supported for folding anymore... they lack opencl and you need either opencl or cuda to fold so if the card dont support either of those then you probaly cant fold with them :c
