Yeah I always wondered why my initial values were poor...

Looking at my HWBot results, it is always I have worse initial value but better looptimes in my area of pi efficiency.

Not saying that is good or bad, as I am never near the top dogs anyway...

Want to applaud this video once more. Got it down now, and I like manually moving files. Feels like I'm doing something.

Just realized my stripped XP even has themes stripped.....gonna have to reinstall with a different version and get SP3.

Any problem using quick launch bar? I don't like using any desktop icons, but I love using the quick launch bar when benching.

Edit: LOVE the manual method over the spitweaker. Distinctly reproducable benefits.

At first I was thinking, hey, this would be GREAT if I could just read it

Then I figured out that by switching over to Utube to watch it I could full screen it.

Awesome work AL ... gotta try it very soon

thanks men! I felt the same way when I learned patch, thats what really pushed me to make the video

Hey Al,

Anything magic about your target spi memory usage of 250ish?

I've been using a 3.1 GB "new OS files" file that I keep on my benching stick. Transferring it 7 or 8 times gets my mem usage down to about 180 and it improves the score. Minor improvements, albeit. Haven't had the patience to try to get it lower than 180 yet......

Yeah mine has been dropping to like 80KB usage...

Oddly I get down to 44K usage with OCX. Just tried the BenchTec ToolBox and it pulled 88K. All of this is good info for all members like myself learning the ways of SPI...Thanks to all!

hehe, I can get mine down to 36k... problem is, if you click anything other than "ok" on spi, it will jump up to 500-700k instantly. The system is already "balanced" though, so no need to worry about the jump.

Made a single run with the BenchTec ToolBox. It appears to work ok but the copy wazza size box is greyed out...I have contacted Mutant for some support. He also has some PiFast link but have been unable to get it to run.
