    download, extract, run superpi executable, click on "Calculate", select the number of digits of Pi you want to calculate, click ok, and wait.

    Usually people use 2 million.
    Most people now use wPrime, since it handles multicores.
    You should also download that, but make sure you put the right number of cores in advanced settings, because it often gets in wrong the the Santa Rosa platform.
    Most people run 32 million

    1M you will find is the norm for most benchmark tests.
    32M is what most people will use for quick stability tests during overclocking exploits. It's definitely not the only test people use for stability but it's a quicker one than other's which can run for 12-24 hours for testing.
