Take the trouble to prove "well within specs" by running the "GIMPS
Torture Test". Easily done and it could save you wasting many hours.

Which program? s@h will still credit you with a completed WU.

Good luck,

Don't need to run it. The computer runs well all the time. Doesn't
over heat. Doesn't give problems with other FPU intensive programs
such as Folding at Home. Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not worried
about the stability of the computer. I just wanted to know if the
results were totally abnormal, or if the fact that it showed 100%
that the results were actually used. I got credit for it.

Anyone who overclocks a computer and then refuses to test if it's stable by
running Prime95 or similar is either a fool or they know it isn't stable and
are denying it.

Thanks for your opinion. It has been running steadily for over a year with no oddities. It is not drastically overclocked. I have run memtest86 on it several times and the mem is rock solid. Programs do not abort or produce odd results. I am not interested in wasting my time to find out why a few seti units did not process well. Folding@Home is just as intensive and it doesn't have problems. If it were crashing consistently or even once, I would take the time to run Prime95. Hasn't crashed. Once again thanks for your opinion and I have forwarded your name to the Secretary of State as a possible diplomat. NOT
