Tests Pentium chips for the FPU error that Intel finally admitted to.
This test may take 20 days to get to 10^10 iterations, but it may fail
quicker. The basic equation being tested is :
n1# = 4195835#:n2# = 3145727#
Do: n3# = (n1# / n2#) * n2#: Loop until n3# <> n1#
This test is in NO way guaranteed (Hell, the damn thing's written in
QB4.5!), as a failure may not occur before you get bored and hit the
escape key. But I hate to think that any serious work is being done on
this buggy chip. Hmm... maybe we should all go buy a PowerMac!
