All of them. However not all parts of Wine are multithreaded so your program
might not really benefit from all CPUs/cores.

Eh? It was the case in 2.4.x kernels and older. Not anymore.  Read up on POSIX
threads (pthreads). That's what Wine is using.

Simplest way program "top". Or any other "system monitors".

They can show you how much CPU each process uses. Most will show all CPUs/cores
as 100%. So if you have 4 CPUs/cores and you see CPU load of your program above
25% then it's using multiple cores.

3D rendering farm client shouldn't have a problem using as much as possible.

I will do some testing to night to see what works and will let you know


Thanks
