Hey everyone:
So yesterday I installed my 3.2c on my old Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 installation...all went well. I went ahead and OC'ed the CPU to 3.6 on stock voltages...all is well.
Yesterday, I was running Prime95, Torture Test, Option 3 (where it blends everything) and each test ran for about 5-6 minutes. All in all, all tests for 1024k, I think it's about six or so, finished in less than 15 minutes.
Today, I was told, that because I have a HT Processor, I need to run two Prime95's at once. When I run both, it's taken about 25+ minutes and neither Test 1 on either of the two has finished.
The computer is fully functionable, even though there is a small lag...
However, CPU is being used at 7% maximum, just PF Usage is high...
My friend, who is doing the same test on his 2.8 HT (He is just running one Prime95 application vs. me running two)...with a clean reformat just like mine, and he said his test has been going on for about one hour and 30 minutes...
This is weird, becuase yesterday, I did the test and it took me much less time. Today, it's taking me the same amount of time plus more to just do one test...any suggestions on why this may be?
The only difference is, today I'm using a brand new format which was done with this 3.2c OC'ed to 3.6...vs. yesterday, when I was using it on the format which I did with a 2.4b OC'ed to 3.0
