Then why did it work just fine at 850 on same CPU same motherboards? Thus, it is not a software problem.
That's an interesting conclusion that you've jumped to, in light of the fact that Tom himself stated that a microcode update was required for PIII 1.13GHz, as well as a voltage increase to 1.8v. In light of these differences, it appears, that your "comparisons", of the 1.13GHz chip to the 800MHz chip, do not seem to be valid
If it was a speed problem with the software, then 1150 MHz Tbird would have been unstable. Thus, since the motherboards were different, it points positively to the CPU in question.
Boy, that's the biggest leap yet. The freeware worked with the T-Bird, so it should work with a PIII. I never said it was a speed problem, I said it was a software bug problem. Ignore the fact that the T-Bird and PIII cores and microcode, are different designs, and maybe your statement might hold water. Otherwise....
Kyle did go through the simple troubleshooting procedure.

Ah, and what did he find? Did he examine the uncompiled prime95 code, to determine if there were any further possability of bugs? I didn't read that, did you?
