the standard super pi is the super pi mod 1.5 listed in the sticky thread. Make sure you have everything turned off in the background, it's best to run in XP.

Also you may try to turn off all but 1 core (in bios) and up the cpu speed as far as you can go.

The biggest single way to decrease your time is to close all unnecessary background processes (especially explorer.exe) Make sure your ram timings are as low as they can go. Or if you want faster ram speeds then leave them loose.

Faster ram speed is more important than timing, but after you find a good speed then lower timings.
