    Most significant event of all history?

    In my opinion, the extinction of Neanderthals, this way the human became the solely "owners" of all things on earth (that's what we think). If you don't believe it, just think for one minute about two intelligents & different races evolving together, the all world could never be the same.

    Curious: 1. how to tel if voltage fried a cpu 2. if you fail prime95 at stock cpu is it really defective

    Prime95 developers does affirm that if a computer fails to the torture test, means that computer has a "hardware problem", not necessarily means that cpu is defective. So, the best way yo find if cpu is defective is to test it with prime95 in other proved "rock stable" pc,
