if you want to fully load a quad run prime 95. it also automatically creates worker threads based on the number of cores you have, so you dont have to run multipile instances. kinda like smp for fah

I know it'll be in the build thread, but I'm lazy and can't be bothered to check it out. What cooler is on that?

@martini: I'm pretty sure the latest version of orthos automatically does that anyway, so you should only have to run one instance. Or does it only do 2 threads?

I tried using both Orthos and Prime 95 single instances. Both only stressed core 0 and core 1 and yet both had affinity checked for all 4 cores. I'm not sure I have the latest versions and that may make a difference.

Dan: I'm using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Its not expensive, but gets great reviews everywhere. Now I see why.

haha 5487, lame

I still plan to put the radeon directx 10 compatible card in my system's AGP slot and upgrde 1500 more ram then call it good for a year or so.
