Just a word of advice. You prolly already know but I will advise just in case. When running the P4 with 100 percent utilization, especially the higher clocked ones, they tend to get hot. I had forgotten to watch this and noticed my P4 D2OL performance had dropped substantially compared to yesterday. Then it all dawned on me that in moving my cases around I had forgotten to check the ventilation to the P4 rig. I improved the ventilation a lot, and now the production is coming up. So I figure it was throttling down the cpu due to heat.. Also that is probably what caused the corruption to my agent yesterday. Just make sure you keep em cool, especially if you use a board/ram with questionable stability..
