Can anyone explain the difference between a large FFT and a small FFT test in prime95?

...the large FFT is larger than the small FFT... and this holds true in all versions of prime... dating since prime05BC through to the current prime07 also known as the primeDIRECTIVE... and is only worth one thread and not two...

Primarily cpu testing as compared to ram.

Ok ok... here is something slightly usefull


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime95
The stress-test in Prime can be configured to better test various components of the computer by changing the fast fourier transform (FFT) size. Three pre-set configurations are available: Small FFTs, In-Place FFTs, and Blend. Small and In-Place modes primarily test the FPU and the caches of the CPU, whereas the Blend mode tests everything, including the memory.

By selecting Custom, the user can gain further control of the configuration. For example, by selecting 8-8KB as the FFT size, the program stresses primarily the CPU. By selecting 2048-4096KB and unchecking the "Run FFTs in-place" checkbox, providing the maximum amount of RAM free in the system, the program tests the memory and the chipset. If the amount of memory to use option is set too high then system will start using the paging file and the test will not stress the memory.

EXCUSE ME?!!!!!

Your reply is shocking for a person new to the forums.

What does the program say concerning the two? As far as I remember the one tests more ram and the other tests more cpu.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

WTF guys is THIS BS. NO ONE NO MATTER WHAT, EVER, GETS THE LICENSE TO TROLL! thats like saying, hey iv done 10000km in my car now, W00T now its legal to speed...

Iv been chatting to Fallen for a while now and hes a great guy, just cause he doesnt have 2139943924932583452million posts, doesnt make him some noob that has no say in the world(read: forum), that everyone can be a cocky ******* to and get away with it.

Sheesh just cause some guys LIVE on this forum and have nothing better to day than type up pointless posts to up their post counts... No offence to thEnaileDonE, he gets my respect for being a man and admitting he was being cocky. but serriously, if your gonna make a cocky comment to reply to a legitimate question, atleast say you were joking, and INCLUDE the correct answer. If you dont know the answer to the question THEN DONT BE SOME COCKY KNOW IT ALL!...

Damn some ppl on this forum, Need to grow up....
