Tweaks For Running SuperPi 
  
 
Waza or Copy-Waza is more a method than an app

The method is to have two partitions on a drive, then you make a large compressed file say 1.2g (size varies ) then you copy that to the other partition (you can also try coping it back and forth over writing CDT) then when its finished the first thing that you run is Super pi 32m, windows will give you all its resources and Memory to run SuperPi and your time should be better.......... Thats a very rough explanation but thats the basics, you should be able to find a more in depth explanation at the link i provided below.
What OCX Spi tweaker dose, is do all this nice and easy and you can change the sizes very quickly
 
 
* The other main tweaks are, run winXP (I use SP3 although a lot like SP2)
* Run in ....debug mode ....with a ......maxmem of 600-680 ....(msconfig) 
* In most cases with the new hardware select ........no page file
* And select .....system cache ......under memory usage
* Try runing only one or two cores....if two or more cores used, set priority to the second core(1)
* Try running Superpi in real time
* Open Spi 32m and get it ready to run
* Then run waza (OCX Spi Tweaker) different OS's will react with different settings so you will need to experiment on your system
* But make sure that SPi is open and ready to run so all you do is one click to start the calculations
 
and your good to go....... Happy Benching  
 
 
Its also a good idea when testing the above tweaks, to leave your CPU overclock at a set point 4ghz is genrealy used, this way any tweaks are noticed and any problems with your tweaks or timings are not mistaken for CPU Overclock problems, then when your happy with efficancy and your timings are stable, you move onto your CPU overclock and give it a go.
 
The above is a very very basc outline to what i do, there are alot off other tweaks and methods, but this is what works for me.

OK Here's an example .....
 
This first shot is with a standard OS XP32bit SP3, the only tweaks are Sytem cache, no page file and maxmem of 620
 

 
 
This Shot is the same tweaks as above (and same OS) PLUS ....Boot in debug mode, maxmem 600, Waza standard (OCX SuperPi Tweaker)
