Ive got it running rock solid for the past 2 days now at 1000 on the dot. Its a Duron 800 at 10x multiplier, 100fsb and 1.825v. If I even try to go to 10.5x multiplier or 101fsb, Prime95 will not run the Torture Test and gives me some kind of error. I tried at 1050 with 10x multiplier 105fsb, all would run but Prime. Then I tried 10.5x multiplier 100fsb @ 1.850v, only tried Prime and it wouldnt run the test. This leads me to believe that it is unstable, YET, the system boots and everything runs fine(my network card is a little screwy but its cause im not using my good one), I can run 3Dmark 2000 and Q3 Timedemos and im stable, but P95 WILL NOT run. Could the fact that I have my DRAM Clock in the BIOS set to PCICLK+HCLK(PCI Clock plus the Host Clock = speed of DRAM). Is Prime95 wrong or somethin? Im kind of confused, does anyone have any explanation or tips for me, cause Id love to hear any info you have. You can never have enough speed :) Thx in advance all! :)

me too bro

i can run EVERYTHING @ 1058mhz on my t bird 850 except prime95

its wierd but as i see it is prime95 stresses it to the limit

it one thing isnt right it will give a error

i cant run prime95 @ 1058 for 1 hour then crashes

my chipset temp is 30F and my CPU is 55F

its not a temp problem
