and one other thing - prime95 is also not infallible. I've noticed it's flaky with athlons in particular. I've been running this computer here under heavy loads (playing asheron's call, seti and winamp in background, word open, illustrator open, etc) for days at a time. Prime95 is useful as hell, but it's like 3dmark2000: it's not exactly a real world benchmark.. Run yr system under the loads you normally place it under for a month (games, apps, whatever). If it doesn't wreck once, well, that's a stable system.
