    Super Pi x64 for Vista?

    Is there a x64 version?

    I just recently switched to Vista x64 and don't intend to go back so I was wondering if there was an x64 version of Super Pi somewhere because I sure can't find one.

    I've managed to find Prime 95 x64 but that does not do much if you want super Pi

    Edit: Fixed the title so it's less confusing...

    it would be worthless right now as it would be uncomparable to the x32 one...

    if you want to bench pi you need to make a partition and put win32 back on

    in theory, it would be faster, using the benefits of the x86-64 extensions and extra registers
    Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them

    In theory yes. My biggest complaint is that the XS mod versions do not work. The original one works and so does the SSE patched edition.

    What is this Super Prime? I'm gona try it anyway and thanks for the update.

    BTW. The Super Pi x64 should be fast with larger amounts of ram because of the larger access to memory. IE 16 GB might make a difference in the 32M calculations.

    The 32M calculation uses 268435496bytes/1000KB/1000MB=~268MB of RAM....

    No kidding. The Super Prime does not work on Vista either... Still a lot of problems with Vista.
