> Both can be stopped and resumed nowadays. The main practical difference between them is that while Incremental tries the most "probable" candidates first, Markov does not. So for Incremental, you just start it and run it for as long as you want but for Markov you need to choose beforehand how long you want it to run (by picking a suitable "markov level"). Within that given level, Markov will not pick better ones early.

My other desktop computer is a quad core, so if I want to only try 8
characters passwords and dedicate 2 cores to Marcow and 2 for
Incremental.

What arguments would you use for this?

Great. Anything helps =)

Very impressive! Seams easy enough to use.
