I got memtest for linux and have done 6 runs with no errors. Martin, thanks for the tip!

Good start.

You also need to run GIMPS:
http://mersenne.org/
in it's 'Torture Test' mode to check that your _FPU_ also works ok.

Various modes are run that stress either the FPU or memory.

If you pass those tests also, then you can be reasonably sure that your memory, CPU and FPU are all good at those settings.

I also back off by 1 speed increment to give a safety margin for temperature changes.


Happy crunchin',
Martin
