Ok i setup my rig installed a trial version of XP Home Edition SP2......might be going to Vista Home Premium later........now i want to know how do i make sure its stable i got the progs. from the sticky "HOW TO GUIDE: Memtest86+......"

I ran the Memtest86+ and i managed to pass 7 test with zero errors but now how do run the Prime95 v2414.......now according to the sticky i created 4 shortcuts...did the target line thing.....now heres the confusing part ONE should i go to all the instances

advanced > affinity > uncheck let program run on any cpu and set the CPU values from 0 to 3...????

and TWO according to the sticky for dual core it say go to
option > torture test > custom > memory to use in (MB) should be half of your system memory

now should i also run all the instances at half the system memory ie 1024MB or one-forth the system memory ie 512MB since i will be running 4 instances.....????

My rig is.....

Q6600 (Stock Fan)
Abit IP35 Pro
Crucial 2GB Ram
Antec P180B Case

At normal startup condition my abit uGuru shows.......

Ext Clock @ 272MHz
CPU Temp @ 31.0 C
System Temp@ 33.0 C
PWM Temp @42.0 C
CPU Fan @ 1300 RPM - 1480 RPM
CPU Volt @ 1.1V - 1.2V

Lastly how long should i run this test ??? Ohh i forgot to mention since my PC is freshly setup do i have to do any changes to the Virtual Memory (currently 2669MB is allocated)...???
