Wouldn't it be funny if an overclocker actually found an unknown mersenne prime, but discarded it because he/she thought that it was only a stability test?

Not sure...I let it run for about 45 minutes without errors so I guess I would answer yes??

Prime95 is a great program to test your overclock. I personally run Prime95 and Hot CPU Tester (my other favorite stability program) for at least 12-24 hours to decide if the overclock is stable. My Duron passes it @1080MHz. :D :cool: :)
