Have you done any validation of the results to be certain you're not
having FPU errors?

I keep a close eye on my SetiSpy logs. If I see work units ending
prematurely, I know that I've gone too far. I've had overclocks that seem to
be OK everywhere else but are putting out garbage in SETI.

What motherboard, memory configuration, and cooling setup do you use,
if you don't mind saying?

The hotrod 1700+ runs on an Epox 8RDA+ nForce2 motherboard at 11.5x200 with
dual-channel DDR memory (2x256mb, 1x512mb). It is cooled with a Thermalright
SLK900 heatsink and a thermostatically controlled 80mm fan. It's been
running this way for over a year and rarely gets much over 40c under load.

My bread-and-butter consumer machines have motherboards based on the VIA
KM400 chipset and just run the stock AMD HSF at stock speeds. The 2600+ will
average around 2:50, the 2400+ about 3:10. These aren't real
high-performance m-boards but they do OK.
