just got a mobile barton last week, rite being stable at 217x10 so far.....but i was told that burning-in the cpu at default speed b4 cranking it up all the way would get the cpu to run higher fsb and lower voltage later......so did anyone burn-in their cpu??

if i burn-in at 217x10 vcore 1.6, does this consider as burning-in?
