Overnights (~6 hours) for Memtest86 and 24hrs for Prime95!

OK at least IMHO. The more anal-retentive ones would do it literally 24/7 but I've got SETI to run too!

not good!

most normal people i would say do 6 hours of prime and 13 complete tests (so that's i believe 13 x however many individual tests there are) of memtest86 using c-2-3-1-2-0 spacebar
