Hi, I tried to run this program on my old single core 754 under w7 x86 (w/ 2x512MB ram), but when using small memory amounts like 16-32MB the program seems to produce errors.
It will start without giving output for about 20s, and then all of the sudden, either a lot of computations appear with different times/gflops, or it errors out with invalid values on time/gflops GUI columns.
Just for comparison sake, on another popular linpack gui results will appear as they are calculated without errors taking about 7s for 20x 16MB.

Edit: I've just tested on my PhII 4x and it doesn't exhibit the same problem. Computation output is immediately displayed.
I'm just reporting this, because it might uncover any bug that could cause false positives on other systems.
