Andrew Re: burn-in. Some of the stability increase seen by people 'burning in' their oc'd systems is probably as much imagination as fact, I would not be surprised if youre absolutely correct about that. I don't expect to actually be able to notice any difference. Dave had mentioned he was able to decrease his voltage setting after a significant burn in thus creating less heat and less stress ( the invisible killer of humans and machines). This would, of course, only be discernable over the long term life of the system. Since I'm currently just mucking around in NT my cpu utililation doesn't get over ten % and I would like to prove to myself 100% reliability at 100% utilization or get any problems to the surface now while everything is still under warrenty (except oc'd 300a) RC5 sounds like just the ticket. More than that really, with the normal use aspect thrown in. I'll head over ther now. Thanks alot ..... thats real good info that others will also find useful, I'm sure Clarence

Andrew RC5 is a great burnin app. I've had it running since you posted and continue to use my computer at 100% cpu w/o even knowing its there. Good info..thanks again :-) Clarence
