Prim 95 question

[gvayl]

Hi,
I'm testing my P35 Pro right now. I have a C2D 6420...so dual core.
I run 2 instances of prime, one with affinity for cpu 0 and one for cpu1. However it runs my cpu0 or cpu1 depending on which I started first very slowely, and the other at 100%? Is this normal? So usually my total CPU usage is ~50% and not 100%.

Is this normal.
Also are people still using prime 95 for testing cpu/ram?

THanks

I just ran orthos....same problem.

Try running the latest version of Prime95, it autmatically sets up the number of tests per processors.

Doesn't Orthos do this too?
I'll give it a try.

Hey...orthos is running the latest version of prime95? It should make my CPU usage close to 100%...yet it does not?
