Does anyone know how to get around the 2^32 bug? I'm referencing a quote by Fugger as below..

Once you go past 4.3Ghz sandra and everest fall victim to the 2^32 bug

I'm running into the same problem trying to run Pcmark05 or 04. It's like I hit a wall at 4.3ghz and my score either drops or I start getting some crazy numbers. I'm running XP w/SP1, did they fix this in SP2? Any help will be appreciated :)

I thought it got fixed with SP2, but I'm not shure about that.

I'm hoping you are right..... I just don't want to install SP2 if it's not. I'm sure someone will confirm it :)

I always use SP4, there really isn't any reason to stay with a lower one, there isn't really a performance hit and the additional compatability is much more useful.

Ok..... but we are talking about XP.
