I tried this a few months ago on our E series Gateways (ATI Rage Pro)
Prime95 LL test - yes interference
Prime95 factoring - no interference
Distributed Net Client - no interference
FPU benchmark (I think it was ZD winbench's FPU test) - yes interference
The no FPU benchmark - no interference
It's is in all video modes (although harder to see on some)
It start as soon as you start pegging the FPU (can be right after boot with
the chip still cold to the touch)
Stop as soon as the FPU backs off
