I did :)
Add 32M runs of Super Pi and FAH derived stress tester to the mix. Thats my prescription.

It is pointless actually...If a stress test is going to beat your computer, it will do it in the first hour...the rest is just a waste.

Not true. It would be beneficial to run Prime for 24 hours because in that 24 hours it might take all the way till end to find an error. And when it does you konw your computer is not completley stable. So there IS a reason to do this. But this is to make sure your computer is COMPLETLEY stable. So if you don't feel like take those steps do that and find it unnecesary then so be it :cool:

What is so magical about the number 24? Nothing...it is arbitrary. Just makes people feel warm and fuzzy because 24hr = 1 day. Why not go for 48hrs then? What if an error occurs at the 47th hour? You might never know if your computer is totally stable if you only did it for a mere 24hrs. I'm being sarcastic if you cant tell.

PS - where can i get SuperPi from...tried google, no luck.

Well don't run it for 24 hours unless you know for sure your going to be running a full load for 24 hours :rolleyes: So if you know the longest load you will be running at is say 9 hours then run it for only 9-10 hours.

PEACE
