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',

Thanks again Martin. I got mprime and ran the torture test for 6 hours
with no errors. I feel more confident now with my machine and overclocking.
I"m planning to run memtest and mprime periodically to test the machine
as it ages.
