For a second there, I thought that I must have REALLY lost touch with 32m's and then I realized you did this with a B2...whew :p:Quote:

I haven't tried yet maxmem (does it work)? and a famous OPB cleaner. Someone said it works but I haven't tried it yet
Anything else? :D
Running SuperPi in realtime prio seem to help a little as well as the luna theme(for XP that is).
I'm just curious why "luna's" considered a theme while "classic" isn't? They're both listed under themes.....Quote:

Dunno about Vista since I haven't tried it, but 2k3 has both Classic and Luna selectable as "themes" (as well as "silver" and "olive")Quote:

I've always liked 2k3 for spi. For me, it's more stable and consistent. XP, when correctly tweeked is on par with 2k3, but rarely any better. One thing I've noticed though, XP will once in awhile spit out an unusual result - something which is a bit too slow or too fast for a particular speed/timings. Dunno what causes that, but 2k3 does it much less often, if at all.....Quote:

Either way I'm sure I ran a time in the 12.6 range at 400x10 3-3-3 1:1 with my B1 a couple of weeks ago, which isn't that special, you should be a full tenth faster, even without Luna on. Something is a bit odd about your setup. I don't know if the CPU is just getting tired or there's something behind the scenes going on with mem subsystem that we just can't put our fingers on. No clue what it could be though.
And Vista doesn't have anything besides Aero or Classic. Either way its horrible for Pi. :(
before doesn't like maxmem but it works for me.....well i don't have seconds advantages to add but it was consistently faster with ~128MB for 1M and 600M for 32MQuote:

someone please give me a reasonable explanation

wazza for me is around 5 seconds on 3.6GHz runs
Looks like it's trying to free up cache.....Quote:

but if you do those operations manually it doesn't really give gainsQuote:

2k3 vs XP part II
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=90566
hmmmmmmm is it really worth the change from XP -> 2k3 ?
To each their own, besides that that was A64. On Conroe, XP scores .02 sec worse than 2K3 in 1M, and 5 seconds worse in 32M for me.
efficiency of those runs was questioned but hipro and the gangQuote:

tweaked XPPro vs 2003 was same for me.....XP had an advantage in longer runs from memoryQuote:

dude i'm not attacking anyone i am just asking if it works or not and what sort of gains people experiencedQuote:

i think combined maxmem 600 and my old copy wazza would have been 10+ seconds as well but i want to see of before's method gains more
i am out of any decent CPUs now just my trusty E6300 so all the testing will be done at slow ass 2.8Ghz .....so much easier when runs finish quicker hehehe oh well
ok fair enough i thought you were having a go at me thereQuote:

Why only 2.80GHz ??, is it on strike or somfin :eek: :stick:Quote:
