Now I am an AMD guy, so I dont use the HT and such that the P4 C's have, but I do have HT at school (Dell). I have noticed that Prime runs only on a single virtual processor, if you would. So when testing for stability, do you run 2 instances of Prime or wha?

Yep use 2 instances, or as I do 1 instance and an instance of SETI, That will load CPU to 100% no probs...:D

You could also install folding ;)

Thats a sure-fire 100% load tester.

Computers that will Prime sometimes fail @ Folding. It's hardcore.

You'll need the OC-Dually F@H for the HT and the regular for the AMD.

Look in the folding forums at the 'Ultimate install guide' sticky for more info.

And btw, you'll also be helping to cure Cancer and such diseases while your at it. :p
