    Damn, I don't have a Vista 64 installed atm, but now I guess is the best time to install it. I'll fix this asap.

    And if you uncheck the 64-bit mode, still the same result?

    Yep, but now it tells me that is not enough memory. The bright side is that it doesn't remain memory resident.

    Dua|ist, I believe to get around the 2 GB per-process limit is to have 2 Linpack processes! Sorry.

It will only let me run at 1748, no less, and half the time when I pick 1748, it tells me not enough memory, though I have 2748 free. (I know there is 1748 limit with xp 32 bit).

    But once that bug gets fixed, pretty sweet being able to load all 8 cores with one instance at max memory
    At least it works on all cores. Here's the fixed version : LinX 0.5.5.1

    Question is, whether we need to get around that limit at all? Most systems with 4GB of RAM and more have a 64-bit OS, and x64 version of Linpack has no such limit. There are of course 32-bit OSes with 4 GB of RAM and ~3.5 GB of useable memory, but that 2 processes idea was just a temporary fix to load all cores when HT is on. Now that it can be done in a much better way via Linpack itself I don't see any reason to keep this option. The current ~1750 MB limit for 32-bit Linpack is enough to adequately stress-test any CPU, while RAM testing is not Linpack's goal anyway. If you still want to test all your memory, just run 2 instances of LinX.
