I think, there are 2 processes running as idle task (one of them is Prime95). And I assume that both have the same priority setting, so the OS "thinks", they are equally important (same priority) and gives exactly half of the available time to each of them because Hyperthreading suggests, that there are enough real CPUs to do so (although there aren't). Try increasing Prime95's priority setting.

I had the Prime95 directory backed up, but when I copied it over and ran Prime95 I got the message that one of the numbers was not assigned to this computer. Can I get it back? It was nearly done. The number was Test=20630641,66,0. This is my first number over 20 million and I would like to finish it. - --Bob Braunwart _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger with backgrounds, emoticons and more. http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/cdp_customize _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers ------------------------------ End of Mersenne Digest V1 #1091 *******************************
