I did the same thing when I got my dual core and was annoyed when they went out of sync. I'd occasionally reverse the affinity to try to keep them in the ball park. Eventually I stopped. Now I feel free to boost the maximum amount of RAM available to them simply because they are out of sync. When I added more RAM and switched to the 64bit version of Prime95, I upped it to 6GB (of 8GB) and stage two happily used it all. I didn't leave them at 6GB however. That seemed a little excessive. A miniscule 2GB seems more reasonable. :-) Rick. -+-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alienshore.com/seeking/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
