Clarence. Re: burn-in. Some of the stability increase seen by people 'burning in' their oc'd systems is probably as much imagination as fact, but if you want to load up your machine, try downloading the RC5 client from distributed.net. This is a small program that uses your spare cpu cycles to help crack a code as part of a contest. You can continue to use your computer as you would normally. Any cpu cycles not needed by your other programs are used by the client, ensuring 100% cpu utilization. Many people have been running this client for over a year non-stop. I've been running mine for a few months. The advantages: -normal use of your computer -no additional load on your graphics cards (as would quake, etc), so heat build-up in the case is not exaggerated. - true 100% cpu utilization - promoting the CAUSE (i.e., privacy and freedom on the net) - a (very) slim chance of winning $1000 The web site is distributed.net -ae
