Hi all, One more thing. The timings in prime95 have been recalibrated to my PII-400 instead of my old, deceased P-90. What does that mean? The short explanation is that you should not believe the estimates given in Test/Status. Over time these estimates will become accurate again. Why is this? When version 18 estimated my PII-400's speed it underestimated by 40%. Over time, the RollingAverage value in local.ini grew to 1400 to compensate for the poor guess and give accurate estimates in Test/Status. Well in version 19, prime95 accurately guesses my PII-400's speed and applying the rolling average of 1400 makes it bring in the expected completion dates by 40%. It won't take too long for the rolling average to come down to close to 1000 -- or you can edit your local.ini file my hand and set the RollingAverage to 1000. I hope that wasn't too confusing...
