[Coolaler-OPB project ]The secret of running super pi faster than you think?!

[corvus_corax]

I got a bigger jump using Maxmem set to 104MB.

I think that each test could have an optimal maxmem, at least an optimal maxmem range. For example, maxmem=104 could be fine for 1M, even 2M, but not for 32M. For 1M i've even used Maxmem=60~65MB and, at least for me, was the best, BUT that was in a very tweaked system (no diagnostic mode) in other configurations can kill the performance.

Like Masters Coolaler/OPB pointed, always check your Real memory, available real memory and of course Allocated memory.

thanks for sharing . once youve set it to 600 ,will it remain that way after shut down? or does one have to do it everytime one runs pi?how does it effekt 3dmarks?

it will remain until you change it. For 3DMark
in my case i've never used, i think that Japanese Masters have a best answer
