    The speed depends on the system. On an athlon 64 system, it should take about 10 minutes. It will automatically repeat.

    It will automatically repeat. Can't say for sure on a 64bit machine but I just ran it on a machine for a friend the other day it was an Athalon 1400 with 512ram and it took several hours for it to finish the full set of 9 passes to 100%.

    Generally I start it up and let it run all night doing it's thing. If it hasn't locked up or crashed come the dawn it's a pretty good indicator.

    Sweet prime, thanks!!

    I have been having random subtle problems ever since I built my system almost 6 months ago, most of which only show up if I overclock my system. This has been VERY frustrating, because I bought the hardware and case and such to be able to overclock quite respectfully. I am not a noob nor am I a ace pro, but I believe some light has been shone down on me just a minute ago. I just got off the phone with Mushkin.

    I have two 512 sticks of PC4000, and I have been running it at the SPD settings of 2.5-3-3. I noticed in an article I just read that stated the ratings to be 3-4-4, hence the phone call. The chick on the phone (BTW there is something very HAWT about talking inteligently to chicks about hardware) said that she was surprised that it was running at those specs and even amazed that I was able to OC it!!
    Of course I don't want to set my timings slower, but now I am highly interested in finding out how OC'able my system is after correcting this problem. :thumbsup:
