I would recommend running memtest86 for 12-24hr then if you have windows run prime95 in burn in mode for at least 12-24 hours as well. If it passes both then the system should be ok. I've personally seen systems that pass memtest86 that still fail prime95 and have other problems. However, I've never seen a system that could pass prime95 for several hours that had problems running normal software. There is a linux version of prime as well called mprime but I have not tried it out yet. http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm Chris
