Dual Prime95 Question

I have been running Prime95 in dual instances, trying to evaluate system stability on both cores of my e6700. When doing so, however, the second torture test to start running does not perform anything but the first iteration (test). It's not that it fails, and comparing the temps between running 1 instance and 2 instances of Prime95, it's clear that a test is indeed being run on the second instance..

I can run both for hours, and the first ticks away, dozens of tests. But the second only runs one test. When I stop the test, it still says that it ran for 2 hours and 21 minutes or whatever, with no warnings and no errors.

Does anyone else experience this? Is the test still a reliable indicator of stability?

PS - Does the fact that Prime95 is installed on 2 HDs make any difference?

Thanks for the link. I actually followed all the instructions, set respective affinities, and I still see the same thing: One test runs sequntial iterations, and the other test only continuously runs the first iteration.

Has anyone else had this happen?

whats the difference between superpi dual and Orthos? which is a better stabilty test?

lols..i meant dual prime 95..id like to run one..can you give me a link to the download site as well as how to run it?

Did you set the first instance to use 1790mb or some really high ram usage for blend? Because if you do that the first core will hog all the ram and the second one has no ram so it just sits there. try sharing the ram equally between the two cores.
