With machine 1 your best bet for now is to leave it as it is - lets see if we can get you gpu folding first.
Machine 2 sounds like it is probably an i7 machine, for this one for now the command line should have the argument -smp after the name of the executable, change that to -smp 8 to get it to use all cores.
For the GPU's lets start on machine 1, a good idea would be to have a copy of the following guide on the laptop so you can refer to it as you go.
Link to multi GPU guide:-

1. Download and install the latest ATI drivers
2. Create a seperate profile in the display driver control panel that does
not have crossfire enabled - i suggest calling it folding profile or something similar
3. Delete any existing Folding at home GPU installations and redownload and install the client but do not run the client at this point as its easier to configure them whilst still unused.
4. Follow the instructions in the guide above - they are straight forward but don't rush them - i did and had to spend 30 minutes reconfiguring my 2nd gpu client
5. Download and install a utility called Fahmon (if you don't already have it) this will allow you to monitor all of your clients on each machine and troubleshoot any problems you may have -
Fahmon can be found here:-

6. Run Fahmon and then load up the first gpu client - make sure that runs stable and then load up the rest of the clients one at a time.
For machine 2 you are already half way there - create the folding profile in the display driver control panel and then follow the instructions in the multi GPU guide and start folding - again i would recommend Fahmon to monitor your clients, there is a section just after the beginning giving advice if you are moving from a single gpu to multi gpu's
One thing to note - Fah can get upset with overclocked hardware, if you have problems after the installs and you are overclocking try going back to stock clocks and restarting the clients.
Hope this is of further use to you
