SP2004 Question

[FlipperBizkut]

Is there anyway to set how much ram is used when doing the prime tests with SP2004? I know that you can manually set it with prime95, but I was wondering about SP2004.

Any other good stress tests for dual cores?

Use the custom test. Uncheck "Run FFTs in place" and set it to 200-300MB less RAM than you actually have. Set min FFT to 8k and max to 4096k. This way, it tests the memory and the CPU, and doesn't use the page file. If it fails doing small FFTs it's most likely the CPU that's unstable, and if fails doing large ones (~128k or more), it's most likely the memory.

Why not just use regular prime95?

Thanks!

SP2004 is prettier.
