Hi list
I've been running Prime95 for a while now (close to finishing my third
LL test).
My problem is that in the first 2 tests I've had one illegal sumout
error in each (both exponents were around 7.6-7.7 million). As the
readme text said this probably didn't mean anything I didn't do anything
about it. But in the test I'm running now I've had 4 of these errors
(exponent just over 8 million). This seems a bit too much to me, am I
right?
I've noticed that they happen as the computer starts. One of the times I
figured that something might had gone wrong in the startup, so I
restarted the computer, just to get another one.
With the 2 last errors I've also noticed that the tray icon appears
later when the errors happen, it normally appears before my virusscanner
and a few other things, it comes up almost last when errors happen.
Anyone with an idea why this is happening?
by the way, my computer is a Celeron-400 (not overclocked) with 64Mb of
ram, it gets 0.314 sec/interation on the exponent I'm running now, is
this about right? I've looked at the page with timings, but they appear
only to be with smaller exponents, where I get less than half the time
of a PII-400, which seems strange, am I reading the data wrong, or am I
wrong in comparing to a PII-400 when it's small exponents?
regards
Dennis J�rgensen
