Guido:
No problem with taking up my time. From the description of the problem
(machine is unusable during Stage 2), it sounds like you may have given
Prime95 too much memory. As a result, not enough memory is left for your
other processes. There is a nice description of setting the available
memory in the readme.txt.(about halfway into the document).
What is your machine memory and how much of it have you allocated to Prime95
for factoring? (Memory is set under Options - CPU)
Finally, yest it is normal that P95 runs a self-test for each of the
different FFT sizes.

The Duron completed the stage 1 without any problem, but during the stage 2
the time per iteration has slow down a lot, from 0.650 sec/it to many
minutes for just one iteration.
Above all the pc is unusable,
Is it better if I force prime95 to start p-1 factoring from zero once again,
hoping any problem occurs this time? What may be the problem? Has anybody
ever observed something like this?
Last question: is it normal that prime95 runs a self test each time it is
going to test with different FFT sizes?
