Hi,
When upgrading an Athlon system from 650 MHz to 1200 MHz, I
discovered a minor bug in mprime v20.6.
If you try to use the Options/CPU entry on the menu to set the CPU
speed above 1000 MHz, you get an error message telling you to pick a
sensible value.
Prime95 v20.6 is happy to accept a CPU speed of 1200 MHz; it looks as
though someone forgot to relax the "sanity check" on the CPU speed in
the mprime-specific menu code when processors faster than 1GHz
started to appear.
The workaround is simple. Change the CPU speed by editing local.ini,
then use the menu to change the CPU type to something else then back
again to generate the signal needed to inform PrimeNet about the
change.
I don't think we need a maintainance release at this point, but it
would be nice to have the bug fixed in the next release.
Regards
Brian Beesley
