I just ran Prime95 torture test, and the test failed @ 3 hours and 20 min. I've heard about certain winchester core athlon 64's having problems with this test. I have a A64 2800+, and I'd like to figure out if which core my chip has, anyone know?

The winchester core are the 90nm chips, and they are socket 939. the 2800+ is a socket 754 chip, so there is no way it's a winchester core. I believe it's the new castle core, but I could be wrong, I'm not exactly an AMD expert, so somebody else can probably confirm that.

It's either a Newcastle or a Clawhammer most likely
