WOOOOO WHEEE!

Thank you thank you thank you guys for all the awesome tips

Between this thread and the other superpi thread, I managed to seriously enhance my scores!!

And I find out that yes 1M is effected pretty nicely by tweaks

Unfortunately crashed getting 17 seconds flat at the same clock speeds I was running last night (It is a little warmer in here) but got enough progression shots, and managed to shave another half second of my time from last night (17.59 at 4030 MHz)..


"But WAIT there's more!"

Managed to shave another whole MINUTE off of my 32M time


Tweaks used

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. Full install, added DirectX SP3 and updates.
System cache mode
(checked out Blutos recommendation about large cache... it was already enabled)
192MB pagefile on USB stick.
MAXMEM 800
Olive Green Luna
Kill Explorer
Set affinity to core 3
Set priority to realtime
Run 16k for oddly out of place great score (last two loops identical)
Run 1M
Run 1M again

Bump it up a Mhz and run again and again. find a good one restart and go again and again


Same exact process I used with 32M. Except I added Waza

Put a 8.2GB video file on 3rd partition on same drive

Restart, run SpiTweakers cleaning program
Copy file to C: drive
16k 16k 1M 32M

Awesome results

Btw.

Apparently the number one top spot for my AMD 920 in 32m was a single stage.. Now its an Air cooler!!!!



Going to hit up Wprime tomorrow, I think a lot of the tweaks carry over, keeping my fingers crossed


I did forget one thing I did tonight that I saw mentioned in the "living" spi guide.

I went to defrag with windows defrag, and it said chkdsk was set to run. (40% fragged yikes!) So i rebooted let chkdsk clean up a million errors LOL (yeah been riding this HARD) Then I installed O&O Defrag and ran complete/ACCESS defrag. Rebootski and than followed the other steps.
