Yeah, sorry stanmc, I'm a bit fanatical when it comes to hardware. It's my
hobby and I get a bit passionate about it. From time to time I have built
new machines for gaming friends and I wouldn't *dream* of letting a machine
go out the door that hasn't run Prime error-free for 24 hours on it's own,
then 24 hours in conjunction with SETI, then checking the MBM5 log for
temps, voltages etc. I also do the same with machines I re-build.

No problem. I knew my unit was performing well, as it didn't exhibit the kinds of symptoms flakey computers usually do. I just wondered why after all these years I suddenly run into a unit that completes very quickly. I won't be running Prime95 anytime soon unless my next computer (AMD64) acts up. Very boring. They should put some interesting graphics on the screen. Too bad the guy behind MBM5 is stopping development.
