Newb Prime 95 Questions?

[lost0822]

I just started using prime 95 for the first time yesterday and have some questions about it. I read thru the read me files, but i still do not understand some things.

1. Under Options>CPU what do you guys use for Daytime/Nightime memory? I just want to use this for testing my overclocks, so is this something i really need to bother with?

2. I did a torture test overnight, so i let it run about 7 hours and had no error or anything, this is with no overclock though, i wanted to see if my newly built machine is stable. Is this a good amount of time? Also i thought i heard there are different levels to this stress test and that you need to turn that up to get or down to get a really good stress test on an overclock, am i wrong here?

3. How do i shut it off? If i exit out of the program or shut down my computer when i bring the program back up it's running it's execution again, or is not a big deal if it's running, i'd rather it not be like i said i only want to use it for testing my overclocks.

If you have any other suggestions for me that would be great. thanks guys.

1. I left it default which is 8mb I think. Not sure about this one.
2. 7 hours is pretty good indication if you're going to fail but once you get to where you want go 24 hours. I do Torture too.
3. Click Test in the top left corner and there is " stop" then go to your toolbar and right click and "exit" on P95 yellow Icon
I'm sure some other guys more knowledgeable in Prime/testing can help.
