Other Thoughts:Whoever ned is, are you serious, the whole idea of the program is to find prime numbers by maxing out your cpu usage, also it is used for stress testing by overclockers.
The program is designed to run your cpu at 100% that is the whole point of the program.
Saying its bad because it does that is like saying a super car is bad because it goes fast.
Best stress testing program, especially now v25+ supports dual core.

"Good" by:jb-3
Other Thoughts:I ran their tests overnight (6 hours), when i woke up it said all tests went without errors. Happilly i closed the program & went to reboot my computer - and then out of the blue came the evil BSOD :
Any idea anyone?

"BEST STRESS TESTER!!!" by:blazie151
Other Thoughts:Best program for stress testing a machine (RAM, BUS, and CPU). Gave a whole new meaning to "stable"; "prime stable". Great job George Woltman. Both the mathmatic and computer enthusiasts appreciate this great (and FREE) program.
