Stable enough? Stable with Prime 95, but crash with 30 windows of 7volt.com

I have a dual celly 366@550 and it's stable with two copies of prime 95 running with affinity set for each cpu. It can run for days like this with RC5 in the background.

However, when I load 30 windows of 7volt.com's front page, it crashes in a few minutes. 7volt.com's front page has a water effect that takes 100% cpu. If you open more windows of the same page, the water effect will slow to a crawl.

My question is whether or not my system is stable enough as it is.

Thanks.

I agree with Budman. If prime95 isn't doing it, then you should be fine. The ultimate test, however, is to simply use the machine for awhile and see how stable it is. Acceptable stability is what you consider it anyway(eg how stable you want it/are willing to live with).

I just followed the link and my seti client
went down to zero in cpu usage while that
website went up to 99%. Pretty cool who would've
thought it would take that many of the cpu cycles.
