I ran the program, and it locked my computer up tighter than Fort Knox. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Had to button-reset the thing...a severe no-no for a Windows machine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

I disagree this little app provides any measurement of stability. It's just another toy really.

My result:
+ 000h 01m 19s [ 1M]
+ 000h 16m 03s [ 8M]

Ah, testing overclocked CPU stability makes a lot more sense. I just don't see how it could have tested operating system stability.

Happy New Years. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ok, it took about 5 and a half minuites to calculate to 1M

This program does use the processor 100% so I did it without anything else running.

I have a 450mhz Pentium 3 and 416megs of RAM

Heh I took a screenshot with PaintShop Pro as well

geepondy, the largest I found so far is (2^24036583)-1. If you really want to see the source, click here. Be warned though, this file is in excess of 9 megabytes, and has a 7,235,733 digit count.

Super PI really works. If your computer locks up, I say you have something wrong.

I once bought a slightly used state of the art Pentium from a con man on Ebay. My computer had occasional hard to diagnose problems.

Super Pi came to my rescue. As long as I calculated PI to less than 4 Megs, everything was okay. If I tried 4 megs or greater, bad things would happen. When running XP, the OS would crash. If I was running Win2k, the OS didn't crash, but SuperPi would find an internal error and stop calculating.

There's nothing wrong with Super Pi either. It runs fine on my other machines, and it runs fine on that machine since I replaced the CPU.

Apparently the con man was getting these Pentiums from Intel's dumpster.
