Now I wish this wPrime tweak will give me the extra milliseconds I need! I will test this soon as my new classy just arrived from RMA!

As soon as I get the OCA Newegg Gist card I will get the Asus open box and test that sucker too.

Uhm.... usb drives still exist. I hear they are handy ;)

I keep a copy of .net 1.1 and 3.5 "just in case." They also work well when the updates keep failing for those at the shop. :thumbsup:

uhmm explain.... For the initial install aren't you still going to need to have internet for it's retarded validation or whatever.

nope ;)

iirc, it just checks to make sure it's activated. The genuine advantage check will happen on the system you are downloading it from. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

nono, I'm just talking about whatever it does that takes forever and an internet connection during the install. iirc, it downloads like 50mb of data or something? Whatever I'm interested in this tool. I'm going to try and squeeze in .net to give it a whirl.

The redistributable .net shouldn't check for anything or require an internet connection. All you should need for this tool is the framework anyway, so if it does look for something, you most likely don't need/want it.

I'm interested to see how well this beefy tool works. I tend to raise an eyebrow at any all-in-one anything, as something is usually lacking. Time will tell.

Tweaks are listed HERE.

Seems the bases are well covered after reading through it a couple times. :thumbsup:

thanks face

this is confusing me

WPrime:
Start WPrime
Set number of threads
Open WPrime Tuner
Start Calculation
Once specified number of threads have been started press "Start WPrime Tweak"
WPrime will now run at realtime priority.

I assume you run the tweak before you actually begin the calculating, instructions are off?

FACE 07-08-2010 03:16 AM

only one way to find out fo sho'.

Maybe there is a "start calculation" checkbox or something that automatically starts wprime? :blink:
